Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with maxillofacial deep space abscesses who underwent surgical treatment between 01/01/2020 and 12/31/2024, including retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal abscesses, peritonsillar abscesses, as well as maxillar and submandibular abscesses and general inflammatory conditions of the jaws.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Superiority or inferiority of the laryngeal mask airway compared to endotracheal intubation in maxillofacial surgical space abscesses, particularly with regard to potential complications during anesthetic induction as well as during and after surgery (e.g. difficult airway, ventilation parameters, need for change of airway device, aspiration, etc.). All surgical and anesthetic data are already available and will be evaluated postoperatively. Data collection is based on patient records and the hospital’s internal electronic medical record and archival systems. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes include postoperative complications (e.g. infection, blood loss, or perioperative increases in blood pressure) as well as postoperative length of hospital stay. Furthermore, parameters related to the overall perioperative workflow will be assessed, including anesthesia induction and emergence times, the decision-making process regarding the choice of airway management, the impact of the anesthesiologist’s and surgeon’s level of expertise on the occurrence of complications, and general differences between the respective anesthetic techniques. All surgical and anesthetic data are already available and will be evaluated postoperatively. Data collection is based on patient records and the hospital’s internal electronic medical record and archival systems. | — |
