The hemostatic net has been promoted as a safe and effective method to prevent hematoma formation following facelift procedures. To date there is little published evidence to validate the replicability and effectiveness of the technique.
This study presents 2 cohorts of facelift patients from a single surgeon's practice to assess the impact of the hemostatic net on hematoma formation.
The records of 304 patients were reviewed on whom the hemostatic net was placed following a facelift between July 2017 and October 2022. Data were collected and assessed for complications and compared with a control group of 359 patients who underwent a facelift procedure without placement of a hemostatic net by the same surgeon between 1999 and 2004.
A total of 663 patients were included. In this retrospective cohort study, analysis of available data showed a significantly reduced hematoma rate of 0.6% in the intervention group compared with 3.9% in the control group (P = .006722).
The use of the hemostatic net is a safe, reproducible, and effective technique in reducing the risk of hematoma in facelift surgery.
止血网已被推广为预防面部提升手术后血肿形成的安全有效方法。迄今为止，很少有发表的证据可以验证该技术的可重复性和有效性。
本研究介绍了一位外科医生的 2 组面部提升患者队列，以评估止血网对面部提升后血肿形成的影响。
回顾了 2017 年 7 月至 2022 年 10 月期间接受面部提升手术且在手术后放置止血网的 304 名患者的记录。收集数据并评估并发症，并与同一外科医生在 1999 年至 2004 年间进行的 359 名未放置止血网的面部提升手术的对照组进行比较。
共纳入 663 名患者。在这项回顾性队列研究中，对可用数据的分析显示，干预组的血肿发生率明显降低（0.6%），而对照组为 3.9%（P =.006722）。
在面部提升手术中，使用止血网是一种安全、可重复和有效的减少血肿风险的技术。
