Clinical study of Shengji Yuyang Ointment combined with anterolateral femoral free flap in treatment of snakebite ulcers
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Shengji Yuyang Ointment combined with anterolateral femoral free flap in treatment of snakebite ulcers.Methods 60 patients with snakebite ulcers from Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into observation group(30 cases)and control group(30 cases).Control group was given directly performed an-terolateral femoral free flap after conventional treatment,the observation group was treated with Shengji Yuyang Ointment combined with anterolateral femoral free flap after conventional treatment.The operation time,hospital stay and postoperative flap repair were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time and hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(all P<0.01).The comparison of postoper-ative flap repair between the two groups showed that there were 30 cases of complete survival in the observation group(the survival rate was100.00%)and24 cases of complete survival in the control group(the survival rate was 80.00%),with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05).Conclusion Shengji Yuyang Ointment combined with anterolateral thigh free skin flap can effectively improve the survival rate of skin flap,shorten the operation time and hospital stay,and the therapeutic effect is positive.
