Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which damaged muscle tissue breaks down and intracellular contents, including myoglobin, are released into circulation. This produces a non-specific clinical syndrome including electrolyte disturbances, hypovolemia, metabolic acidosis, coagulopathies, and risk for acute kidney injury. Rhabdomyolysis has been reported as a complication of prolonged surgical procedures but has rarely been reported in the oral and maxillofacial surgery literature. Early diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysis are important to avoid long-term complications such as renal failure. We present two cases of postoperative rhabdomyolysis following prolonged maxillofacial surgical procedures in which the patients were managed without long-term sequelae. The pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment for postoperative rhabdomyolysis are discussed here with a brief review of the literature.
