Application and Prognostic Analysis of Vacuum Sealing Drainage in the Incision Infection in Patients With Stage II-III Colorectal Cancer
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) promotes wound healing and facilitates chemotherapy completion in colorectal cancer patients with incision dehiscence. While VSD shows promising short-term benefits, its long-term impact on prognosis requires further study.
Area Of Science
- Surgical Oncology
- Wound Healing
- Colorectal Cancer Treatment
Background
- Incision infection dehiscence is a complication after colorectal cancer surgery.
- Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) is a potential treatment for surgical site infections.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the application value of VSD in treating incision infection dehiscence in stage II-III colorectal cancer patients.
- To analyze the impact of VSD on patient prognosis.
Main Methods
- Retrospective study of 97 patients with colorectal cancer incision infection dehiscence (Feb 2014 - Aug 2019).
- Comparison of clinical/pathological data, short-term, and long-term outcomes between traditional treatment and VSD groups.
Main Results
- VSD group showed significantly better granulation tissue growth, fewer dressing changes, and lower pain scores.
- VSD facilitated earlier initiation and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy.
- No statistically significant difference in three-year overall survival between groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusions
- VSD promotes granulation tissue growth and accelerates incision healing in colorectal cancer patients.
- VSD aids in completing adjuvant chemotherapy, potentially improving short-term outcomes.
- Long-term prognostic impact of VSD requires further investigation with extended follow-up.
