Pain is the most common complication after open excisional hemorrhoidectomy (OEH). We assessed the effectiveness of polycarbophil and lysate gel (EmorsanGel) on pain control after OEH.
Fifty consecutive patients undergoing OEH were included. All patients received stool softeners and oral analgesia in the post-operative period. EmorsanGel was also used topically by the last 25 patients (EmorsanGel group (EG)) until Post-Operative Day 20 (POD 20). The primary outcome was the effectiveness of EmorsanGel on pain relief using an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Morbidity, wound healing (WH), and time to work were documented at POD 1, POD 10, POD 20, and POD 40.
Of the 50 patients enrolled, twenty-eight (56%) were males; median age, 49 (range, 28-73) years. The VAS score decreased over time in all patients, with significantly lower scores at POD 20 in the EG (1.44 (SD, 1.16) vs. 2.12 (0.93) in the control group (CG); = 0.045). All patients in the EG achieved complete WH at last follow-up, compared to only 17 (68%) in the CG ( = 0.004). The likelihood of WH was 66% higher in the EG (OR, 1.66 [95%CI, 0.80-3.44; = 0.172).
EmorsanGel is safe and effective at reducing pain after EOH, promoting earlier WH compared to standard care treatment.
疼痛是开放性痔切除术(OEH)后最常见的并发症。我们评估了聚卡波非和裂解物凝胶(EmorsanGel)在OEH后疼痛控制方面的有效性。
纳入50例连续接受OEH的患者。所有患者术后均接受了大便软化剂和口服镇痛治疗。最后25例患者(EmorsanGel组(EG))还在术后第20天(POD 20)前局部使用EmorsanGel。主要结局是使用11点视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估EmorsanGel缓解疼痛的有效性。在POD 1、POD 10、POD 20和POD 40记录发病率、伤口愈合情况(WH)和恢复工作时间。
在纳入的50例患者中,28例(56%)为男性;中位年龄49岁(范围28 - 73岁)。所有患者的VAS评分随时间下降,EG组在POD 20时的评分显著低于对照组(CG)(1.44(标准差,1.16)对2.12(0.93);P = 0.045)。EG组所有患者在最后一次随访时均实现了完全伤口愈合,而CG组只有17例(68%)(P = 0.004)。EG组伤口愈合的可能性比CG组高66%(比值比,1.66 [95%置信区间,0.80 - 3.44;P = 0.172])。
EmorsanGel在减轻EOH后疼痛方面安全有效,与标准护理治疗相比,能促进伤口更早愈合。
