Comparative of vacuum sealing drainage and traditional abscess drainage for patients with breast abscess / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage( VSD) and the traditional treatment for breast abscess drain-age abscess.Methods A total of 59 cases with breast abscess in our hospital from February 2013 to December 2014 were randomly divided into two groups.The observation group underwent VSD and the control group treated by traditional abscess drainage of abscesses.The healing time,scarring length,the average length of hospital stay,number of dressing changes,pain degree were observed.The breast deformation and the recurrence of patients after 6 months were compared.Results The abscess healing time,the length of scar and the average days of hospi-talization were respectively (10.3 ±1.2) d,(1.5 ±0.2) cm,(12.7 ±3.5) d,the control group were respectively (16.5 ±2.6) d,(4.5 ± 0.6) cm,(26.9 ±3.3) d.The difference between two groups was statistically significant(P0.05).No breast deformation occurred in observation group,but 5 cases in the control group.The difference between two groups was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of VSD for breast abscess is significant,which can accelerate the healing of the abscess and reduce the suffering of patients without affecting the appearance.
