MULTIPLE EXTRACTION ON PATIENTS WITH DISORDER OF HEMATOPOIESIS

조혈모세포 질환 환자에서의 다발치

On patients with disorder of hematopoiesis such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, MDS(Myelodisplastic Syndromes), removal of infectious foci prior to the BMT(Bone Marrow Transplantation) is a necessity and what is more, there is no sufficient time to control the infections because the chemotherapy for BMT should be started as soon as possible. And the transfusion should be minimized to prevent the alloimmunization. In those reasons, oral & maxillofacial surgeons are often in need of multiple extractions, and should take into consideration the possibility of complications after multiples extractions such as infection, severe bleeding because those situations can be fatal on patients with disorder of hematopoiesis. We present our experience in multiple extractions on 30 patients with disorder of hematopoiesis referred from Catholic Hematopoiesis Stem Cell transplantation Center at St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea.
