Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical techniques
  • Neurosurgery
  • Amputation management

Background:

  • Neuromas frequently develop after nerve transection during limb amputation.
  • Painful neuromas can significantly impair a patient's quality of life.
  • Effective nerve management during surgery is vital to prevent neuroma formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the knowledge and preferred techniques of Dutch plastic surgeons in managing peripheral nerves during amputation.
  • To understand current practices in neuroma treatment among these surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous email survey was distributed to Dutch (plastic) surgeons.
  • The questionnaire covered background knowledge, preferred nerve management approaches, and neuroma treatments.
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Main Results:

  • The study surveyed 72 surgeons (18.5% response rate), predominantly plastic surgeons specializing in hand and wrist surgery.
  • Muscle burying was the most familiar technique, followed by bone burying, end-to-side suturing, and targeted muscle reinnervation.
  • Surgeons with less experience favored traction neurectomy. Most respondents addressed postoperative nerve pain or considered revision surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Dutch surgeons possess widespread awareness of various nerve management and neuroma treatment techniques.
  • Enhanced training and procedural competence are essential for optimal patient outcomes in amputation surgery.
  • Further research into technique efficacy and impact on neuroma development is warranted.
