To compare the clinical effectiveness of applying medical glue versus conventional suturing after primary suturing and continuous vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology in the treatment of facial wounds caused by dog bites in children's maxillofacial region, with respect to operation time, wound infection rate, treatment effect, and patient satisfaction.
From May 2020 to July 2022, 68 children with a dog bite in the maxillofacial region were randomly divided into medical glue and conventional suturing groups. The patients in both groups were treated with conventional debridement, tetanus and/or rabies immunization, and antibiotic therapy. The medical glue group was treated with VSD after the first-stage of the loose suture of the wound. After 5 days, the suture was removed, and the wound was tightly bonded with medical glue again. The conventional suturing group was treated with VSD after the first-stage of loose suture of the wound. The primary outcomes were the operation time and satisfaction of the 2 groups, and the secondary outcomes was the wound infection rate.
The operation time of the medical glue group was significantly lower than that of the conventional suturing group. However, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the wound infection rate. Still, the patient satisfaction was significantly better in the medical glue group than the conventional suturing group with statistically significant difference (P < .05).
In conclusion, applying medical glue after using negative pressure sealing drainage in treating maxillofacial dog bites can reduce surgeons work intensity, lessen children's pain, and improve the clinical treatment effect.
比较在儿童颌面犬咬伤中,初次缝合后应用医用胶与传统缝合加持续负压封闭引流(VSD)技术治疗的临床效果,包括手术时间、伤口感染率、治疗效果和患者满意度。
2020 年 5 月至 2022 年 7 月,将 68 例颌面犬咬伤患儿随机分为医用胶组和传统缝合组。两组患者均给予常规清创、破伤风和/或狂犬病免疫接种及抗生素治疗。医用胶组采用 VSD 处理一期松缝伤口,5 天后拆除缝线,再次使用医用胶紧密贴合伤口。传统缝合组采用 VSD 处理一期松缝伤口。主要结局为两组的手术时间和满意度,次要结局为伤口感染率。
医用胶组的手术时间明显低于传统缝合组,但两组的伤口感染率无显著差异。然而,医用胶组的患者满意度明显高于传统缝合组,差异有统计学意义(P <.05)。
总之,负压封闭引流后应用医用胶治疗颌面犬咬伤可减轻手术医生的工作强度,减轻患儿的痛苦,提高临床治疗效果。
