摘要

介绍。游离皮瓣手术是许多发达国家的常规手术,手术效果良好。然而,在许多发展中国家,没有这些服务。本文对肯尼亚一家资源有限的医院所做的免费皮瓣进行了审计。目标。这是对肯尼亚一家三级医院在2009年至2014年间进行的免费皮瓣的五年审计。材料与方法。这是一项前瞻性研究,研究对象是2009年至2014年间接受游离皮瓣手术的患者。结果。在五年的时间里,120名患者共进行了132个游离皮瓣。年龄范围为8至72岁,平均47.2岁。所有皮瓣均在放大镜下完成。皮瓣整体成功率为89%。结论。尽管有许多限制,我们的自由皮瓣在大多数手术患者中都是成功的。皮瓣抢救被认为是低的,由于不频繁的皮瓣监测,以及不可用的剧院空间。因此,在手术过程中必须一丝不苟,以减少再次探查的可能性。

Introduction. Free flap surgery is a routine procedure in many developed countries with good surgical outcomes. In many developing countries, however, these services are not available. In this paper, we audit free flaps done in a resource constrained hospital in Kenya. Objective. This is a five-year audit of free flaps done in a tertiary hospital in Kenya, between 2009 and 2014. Materials and Methods. This was a prospective study of patients operated on with free flaps between 2009 and 2014. Results. A total of one hundred and thirty-two free flaps in one hundred and twenty patients were performed during the five-year duration. The age range was eight to seventy-two years with a mean of 47.2. All the flaps were done under loupe magnification. The overall flap success rate was eighty-nine percent. Conclusion. Despite the many limitations, free flaps in our setup were successful in the majority of patients operated on. Flap salvage was noted to be low due to infrequent flap monitoring as well as unavailability of theatre space. One therefore has to be meticulous during surgery to reduce any possibilities of reexploration.
