ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of back-pressurized corset in incision pressure dressing after posterior lumbar surgery. Methods Seventy-eight patients who received posterior lumbar surgery during December 2013 to December 2014 in our hospital, were set as the control group and treated by incision dressing using common corset. Another 80 patients receiving the same posterior lumber surgery during January to December 2015 were set as the experiment group and treated with incision pressure dressing using the pressured-corset. After surgery, the two groups were compared in terms of incisive bleeding, completeness of the dresses and waist comfort level at day 7. Results The rate of incisive bleeding in the experiment groups was significantly lower and the comfort level at the lumbar was significantly higher than that of the control group (P 0.05). Conclusion The incision pressure dressing for the patients after posterior lumbar surgery can remarkably improve the effect of compression fixation on the incision and increase comfort level.
