Objective To explore the value of pre hospital extended care model in the rehabilitation of postoperative patients in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods 120 patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were randomly divided into a control group (n=60) and an observation group (n=60). The control group adopted a routine pre hospital care model of distributing health education cards, while the observation group adopted a pre hospital extended care model based on the WeChat platform. Results The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group (6.67%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (20.00%), and the recovery time of oral function in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05); Conclusion The application of pre hospital extended care mode in postoperative patients of oral and maxillofacial surgery can optimize the quality of preoperative services, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, shorten the recovery time, and benefit patients.
