摘要

目的:本研究旨在记录作者在安哥拉执行颌面部人道主义任务期间的经历,重点评估当地颌面外科医生面临的挑战。此外,该研究还评估了基于互联网的工具在规划和执行此类任务中的作用,以提高未来干预行动的效率和影响力:研究包括两部分:(1) 对安哥拉各地区的颌面外科医生进行在线调查,以评估任务前当地的需求、困难和障碍。调查通过 Google Forms® 进行,包括人口统计问题和有关具体挑战的询问。(2) 人道主义任务本身,于 2023 年 3 月在罗安达若西娜-马谢尔医院进行。任务期间,研究人员记录了由安哥拉外科医生治疗的颌面部疾病和患者的治疗结果。从病历中收集的数据包括人口统计学变量、颌面部疾病类型和治疗结果:调查显示,安哥拉面临着巨大的挑战,包括外科中心和门诊诊所缺乏物资,以及需要更多专业人才。人道主义任务包括治疗 26 例急诊病人和 17 例住院病人,并为当地外科医生举办了重要的教育课程。尽管资源有限,但复杂的手术还是成功完成了,这表明在线协作和周密计划具有克服后勤挑战的潜力:这项研究强调了安哥拉颌面外科医生面临的重大挑战。研究表明,在线工具和国际合作对于改善任务规划和执行至关重要。

Maxillofacial surgery in Angola: overcoming challenges, advancing care through online collaboration.

Purpose: This study aims to document the experiences of the authors during a maxillofacial humanitarian mission in Angola, with a focus on assessing the challenges faced by local maxillofacial surgeons. Additionally, the study evaluates the role of internet-based tools in planning and executing such missions to enhance the efficiency and impact of future interventions.

Material and methods: THE STUDY INVOLVED TWO PARTS: (1) An online survey conducted with maxillofacial surgeons across various regions of Angola to assess local needs, difficulties, and obstacles before the mission. The survey, administered via Google Forms®, included demographic questions and queries about specific challenges. (2) The humanitarian mission itself, which took place in March 2023 at Hospital Josina Machel in Luanda. During the mission, the researchers documented maxillofacial disorders treated and outcomes for the patients attended by Angolan surgeons. Data collected from medical charts included demographic variables, types of maxillofacial disorders, and treatment outcomes.

Results: The survey revealed significant challenges, including a lack of materials in surgical centers and outpatient clinics, and the need for more specialized professionals. The humanitarian mission involved treating 26 emergency cases and 17 inpatients, with significant educational sessions conducted for local surgeons. Despite resource limitations, complex surgeries were successfully performed, demonstrating the potential for online collaboration and meticulous planning to overcome logistical challenges.

Conclusions: This study underscores the significant challenges faced by maxillofacial surgeons in Angola. It demonstrates how online tools and international collaboration were crucial in improving mission planning and execution.
