Application of topical recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor combined with layered tension-reducing sutures in facial trauma
Objective The study investigated the effect of topical recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor combined with layered tension-reducing sutures in facial trauma.Methods The research subjects were 80 patients with facial trauma who received treatment at Jianou Municipal Hospital from June 2022 to June 2024.They were divided into two groups of 40 patients each according to different treatment methods.The control group patients underwent layered suturing after reducing tension,while the study group patients applied recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor to the wound on the basis of the control group.The wound healing time,facial scar condition,and aesthetic satisfaction were compared between the two groups of patients at 3 months after surgery.Results The study group had a shorter wound healing time,lower VSS score,and higher aesthetic satisfaction than the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusions Topical recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor combined with layered tension-reducing sutures for wound closure does not result in special bacterial colonization of the wound surface,shortens the wound healing time,and results in less postoperative facial scarring and higher patient satisfaction with the aesthetic outcome.
