Negative pressure treatment for improvement of surgical wounds after circumferential thigh lift.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The circumferential thigh lift (CTL) with vertical scar is a more extensive and effective procedure compared to the traditional lift, but the scar is not aequally concealed. Negative pressure treatment (NPT) is considered to have a beneficial effect on the physiological process of wound healing and early scar formation. A comparison study was therefore carried out in order to evaluate the effect of NPT on scar quality. METHODS:All postobese patients consecutively treated for thigh laxity in the period January 2012 to April 2013 were recruited in a prospective cohort study. All patients underwent CTL. In group A, NPT was applied on the sutured wound in the immediate postoperative phase for a period of one week. In Group B traditional dressings were used. The quality of scars was evaluated by means of the Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES) at 7, 15, 30 and 365 days postoperatively. RESULTS:91 patients were included in the period defined, of whom 48 in group A and 43 in group B. In group A, the mean SBSES score was 4.4 at 7 days, 4 at 15 days, 4.6 at 30 days and 4.8 at 365 days. In group B the SBSES score was 3.2 at 7 days, 3 at 15 days, 3 at 30 and 365 days. At all postoperative stages the quality of the scar showed to be significantly improved by the use of NPT (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:NPT is a useful adjunct to the postoperative wound healing after circumferential thigh lift, when compared to a hostile cohort of patients whose wounds are not treated with NPT. KEY WORDS:Thigh lift, Negative Pressure Therapy. :Il lifting circonferenziale della coscia (CTL) con cicatrice verticale è una procedura più ampia ed efficace rispetto al sollevamento tradizionale, ma la cicatrice non è egualmente nascosta. È noto che il trattamento a pressione negativa (NPT) abbia un effetto benefico sul processo fisiologico di cicatrizzazione delle ferite e sulla formazione iniziale della cicatrice. È stato quindi condotto uno studio comparativo per valutare l’effetto del NPT sulla qualità della cicatrice. Tutti i pazienti ex obesi trattati consecutivamente per lassità della coscia nel periodo gennaio 2012 - aprile 2013 sono stati reclutati in uno studio prospettico di coorte. Tutti i pazienti sono stati sottoposti a CTL. Nel gruppo A, NPT è stato applicato sulla ferita suturata nella fase immediatamente postoperatoria per un periodo di una settimana. Nel gruppo B sono state usate le medicazioni tradizionali. La qualità delle cicatrici è stata valutata mediante la Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES) a 7, 15, 30 e 365 giorni dopo l’intervento. I pazienti inclusi nel periodo definito sono stati 91, di cui 48 nel gruppo A e 43 nel gruppo B. Nel gruppo A, il punteggio medio SBSES era 4,4 a 7 giorni, 4 a 15 giorni, 4,6 a 30 giorni e 4,8 a 365 giorni. Nel gruppo B il punteggio SBSES era 3,2 a 7 giorni, 3 a 15 giorni e 3 a 30 e 365 giorni. In tutte le fasi postoperatorie, la qualità della cicatrice è risultata significativamente migliorata dall’uso di NPT (p <0,05). In conclusione il NPT è un’utile aggiunta alla guarigione postoperatoria della lesione dopo il lifting della coscia di tipo circonferenziale, se confrontato con una coorte di pazienti le cui ferite non sono trattate con NPT.
