Résumé
The COVID-19 pandemic affects basic health care in maxillofacial surgery (MFS) due to the shift in resources and the change in patient disorders treated during the pandemic. This paper aims to elucidate the medical and financial consequences driven by the measures for COVID-19 treatment in a tertiary care centre. To evaluate the impact of pandemic measures on daily routines of MFS, the surgical schedule during the first 2 weeks after the onset of the curfew (March 2020), and to compare it with the schedule of the same period of time 1 year earlier. Furthermore, postponed surgeries as well as cancelled follow-ups are listed. The loss of earning was calculated as well as the number and kind of postponed procedures. The number of surgeries decreased by 45% (n = 163 in 2019 vs n = 89 in 2020), and the duration of the surgeries decreased from 94.2 minutes to 62.1 minutes. No elective surgeries, such as implantology, aesthetic surgery, or orthognathic surgery, took place. Furthermore, also trauma cases decreased from 9 to 3 cases. Considering all variables, the financial loss can be calculated as approximately 100,256.50 Euros per week. The impact of COVID-19 on MFS is certainly of medical and economic importance and is related to the duration of the pandemic.
