Abstract
Purpose: Fasciotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the incision of fascial compartments in the body to relieve pressure, prevent tissue damage, and maintain blood flow. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Bogota Bag technique in closing fasciotomy wounds in patients with lower limb compartment syndrome.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted between October 2022 and October 2023 to document our experience in employing the Bogota Bag technique for fasciotomy closure. The study included the evaluation of medical files from fifteen patients aged 17 to 61.
Results: The outcomes of the study present the initial series of limb fasciotomies treated with the Bogota Bag technique. Fifteen patients (14 male, 1 female) were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 34.73 ± 13.9 years and the average hospitalization was 8.33 ± 3.2 days. The average closure time of fasciotomy is 3.6 ± 1.4 days.
Conclusion: This report makes a significant contribution as the first documented series of limb fasciotomies treated with the Bogota Bag technique. This method exhibits simplicity in execution, cost-effectiveness, and a low incidence of complications.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
