Influences of modified intradermal suture on wound healing effect and scar score in patients with maxillofacial trauma
Objective To study the influences of modified intradermal suture on wound healing effect and scar score in patients with maxillofacial trauma.Methods A total of 100 patients with maxillofacial trauma admitted in our hospital from January 2020 to May 2023 were selected as the research objects and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received intermittent suture,and the observation group received modified intradermal suture.The wound healing effect,inflammatory factors[C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)]levels,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS)score,complications and satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The excellent and good rate of wound healing of the observation group was 96.00%,which was higher than 84.00%of the control group(P<0.05).After surgery,the levels of CRP and PCT in both groups were lower than those before operation,and those in the observation group were lower than the control group(P<0.05).At 3,7 and 14 d after surgery,the VAS score of both groups was lower than that before surgery,and that in the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).At 14,21 and 60 d after surgery,the VSS score of both groups was lower than that of 7 d after surgery,and that in the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).The total incidence of complications of the observation group was 2.00%,which was lower than 14.00%of the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction of the observation group was 94.00%,which was higher than 78.00%of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The modified intradermal suture has a remarkable effect in the treatment of patients with maxillofacial trauma,it can promote wound healing and reduce scar production,which is worth promoting.
