Comparison of complications between continuous negative pressure drainage and intermittent negative pressure drainage after expanded flap repair and abdominal wall plasty / 中华医学美学美容杂志
From May 2017 to August 2019, the Department of Medical Cosmetology and Plastic Surgery, Wuhan Third Hospital treated 76 femalepatients after expanded flap repair, aged 27-35 years, with an average age of 30.5±14.2 years, and 58 femalepatients after abdominal wall plasty, aged 38-55 years, with an average age of 47.8±7.8 years. They were divided into intermittent negative pressuredrainage group and continuous negative pressuredrainage group. The negative pressure values in different intervals were set according to the type of operation. The drainage volume, drainagetime, incidence of hematoma, subcutaneous effusion, flap necrosis rate, primary wound healing rate and drainage related bleeding were recorded and compared between the two groups.
Results:
After expanded flap repair in 38 cases, flap necrosis occurred in 1 case and hematoma in 3 cases; After abdominal wall plasty in 29 cases, flap necrosis occurred in 0 cases and hematoma in 1 case. The primary healing of incision was higher ( P<0.05), the drainage volume was larger, but the drainagetime was shorter ( P<0.05), and no bleeding related to drainage was observed. The effect of monitoringdrainage was positively correlated with the effect of operation.
