Welcome to OCF! Im very sorry you have a need for our group. Dont worry, we will do our best to assist you as much as possible.

Please understand our site is made up of fellow survivors/patients and caregivers. We do not have medical backgrounds or years of medical school and training. But we do have first hand knowledge of many procedures having been thru them ourselves.

Since Im in the US I have no info about how your medical system works or what is available, I can only talk about things in the US. Here, Ive had many surgeries (including 2 mandibulectomies) and I have not heard of the heated room after surgery being done. What Ive always understood, they purposely keep the temperature lower in the hospitals here to help keep the germs from spreading. (It sounds kinda silly when I type it, but this.) I wonder if this is a new procedure? In your country is it possible to seek out a second opinion? Are your mother physicians working together and consulting to create her treatment plan? Im sorry but I have not heard of the high room temp after surgery before. I cant remember of any of our members (over the past 9+ years) mentioning it either.
