ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of two positions in the infant megacolon radical operation.Methods Sixty infants undergoing abdominal perineal megacolon radical operation were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group in equal number.The former took the traditional lithotomy position and the latter modified suspended lithotomy position.Results The operative exposures in the observation group were much more sufficient than that of the control group(P<0.05).While adverse skin reactions in the observation group were more uncommon than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The suspended lithotomy position may provide a better exposure and result in fewer adverse skin reactions during the abdominal perineal megacolon radical operation.
