What is the principle of postoperative wound pressure
However, the use of sandbags or heavy oppression of the wound to prevent wound bleeding and exudation, is only one of the methods, does not mean that physicians in the course of surgery do not regular operation and careful bleeding. The view of modern surgery that the complete hemostasis in surgery is the most important way to prevent incision bleeding (usually completely coagulation hernia sac margin of the margin), and after surgery in the wound pressure sandbag method is only an auxiliary method.
After surgery, the wound must have different degrees of bleeding, bleeding, and even the formation of hematoma or the formation of scrotal hematoma. The presence of these factors will affect the wound healing, is not conducive to the complete cure of abdominal hernia, and the presence of bleeding and hematoma, prone to wound infection, induced hernia recurrence, leading to surgical failure. Through the use of sandbags or other heavy objects to oppress the wound, can effectively reduce the wound bleeding, prevention of wound exudation and lead to hematoma formation and the occurrence of scrotal hematoma, for the success of surgery to create favorable conditions.
To use conventional sandbags (or salt bags) to suppress the wound, the purpose is to use the weight of sandbags to resist the pressure of the abdomen to reduce the wound tension, conducive to wound healing.
