Abstract

Throat packs are frequently used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, but can be fatal if not removed at the end of surgery. We analysed the impact of recent guidelines on reported trends in retained throat packs and found a successful reduction. We briefly discuss what else can be done to completely eliminate these events.
