Abstract
Purpose
To compare the clinical effects of nonpressure and pressure dressings on the postoperative complications of modified Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.
Design
Randomized controlled trial.
Methods
A total of 186 patients with grade II to III mixed hemorrhoids who had been excluded from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and anorectal surgery were included and randomly assigned to the nonpressure dressings group and the pressure dressings group by random number table. The incidence of acute urinary retention and medical adhesive-related skin injury, pain, hemostatic effect, anal distension, anal edema, use of analgesics, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials checklist for randomized controlled trials was used in this study.
Findings
The incidence of acute urinary retention in both men and women was significantly lower in the nonpressure dressing group (relative risk [RR] = 0.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.13, 0.37], P = .002); (RR = 0.47, 95% CI [0.22, 0.76], P = .015). The postoperative pain at 6 hours/18 hours/25 hours was significantly lower in the nonpressure dressing group (P < .001, P = .004 < 0.05, P = .009). The anal distension at 6 hours and the number of patients who used analgesics were significantly lower in the nonpressure dressing group (P < .001). The incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries was significantly lower in the nonpressure dressing group (RR = 0.061, 95% CI [0.020, 0.189], P < .001). No primary bleeding was observed in both groups. However, there were no significant differences between both groups in terms of anal edema scores, length of stay, or hospitalization expenses. No adverse events were reported in either group during the study period.
Conclusions
Nonpressure dressings can effectively reduce the incidence of acute urinary retention and medical adhesion-related skin injury after surgery for grade III to IV mixed hemorrhoids. They can also safely relieve pain and distension.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing provides original, peer-reviewed research for a primary audience that includes nurses in perianesthesia settings, including ambulatory surgery, preadmission testing, postanesthesia care (Phases I and II), extended observation, and pain management. The Journal provides a forum for sharing professional knowledge and experience relating to management, ethics, legislation, research, and other aspects of perianesthesia nursing.
