    Area of Science:

    • Surgical innovation
    • Patient positioning devices
    • Medical engineering

    Background:

    • Perineal operations require precise patient positioning.
    • Existing methods may necessitate additional support or pose risks.
    • Ensuring patient stability and safety is paramount during surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a universal traction belt for patient positioning during perineal operations.
    • To determine if the universal traction belt eliminates the need for additional patient support.
    • To assess the incidence of adverse events associated with the use of this device.

    Main Methods:

    • A universal traction belt was applied to patients undergoing perineal surgery.
    • Patient positioning and stability were maintained using only the traction belt.
    • Clinical monitoring for pulmonary, cardiovascular, and pressure-induced injuries was conducted.

    Main Results:

    • The universal traction belt provided secure patient positioning throughout perineal operations.
    • No additional patient support was required for any participant.
    • Zero instances of pulmonary or cardiovascular disturbances were reported.
    • No pressure-induced cutaneous or neurological injuries were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The universal traction belt is a safe and effective device for patient positioning in perineal surgery.
    • It simplifies the surgical setup by eliminating the need for supplementary support.
    • The device demonstrates a favorable safety profile, preventing common complications.
