Role of Vacuum Therapy in Treatment of Infected Pseudoaneurysmectomy Wounds: A Clinical Approach | Chapter 3 | Research Highlights in Disease and Health Research Vol. 1

 Infected pseudoaneurysmectomy wounds pose a meaningful challenge to any vascular surgeon. Delayed wound curative is a major concern in specific complicated and chronic wounds accompanying co morbidities. It causes pain, morbidity, extended treatment, and necessitates main reconstructive surgery, that imposes a significant social and economic burden.This chapter aims to judge the results & benefits brought by the restricted application of VAC in inmates with infected pseudoaneurysmectomy wounds.This study was attended on 15 patients of miscellaneous ages and both genders at Al-Azhar University Hospitals and Matariya Teaching Hospital. The findings demonstrated that In correlation of event of VAC with other fields of estimate there was mathematical significance for duration accompanying sex (P profit; 0.043), HCV infection (P value; 0.032), IV dependence on illegal substance (P value; 0.003), ESRD (P profit; 0.003), region of pseudoaneurysm (P value; 0.003), height of wound at start (P value; 0) & number of dressings (P advantage; 0). There was statistical significance for complexities incidence accompanying the presence of HCV infection (P worth; 0.029) & wound size (P worth; 0.029) in the correlation of complications occurrence with the trainings of assessment. The study concluded thatVAC is valuable in the treatment of polluted pseudoaneurysmectomy wounds. It stabilises the wound, reduces edoema, reduces bacterial load, improves tissue perfusion, and excites granulation tissue conception. It is simple and effective in conditions of reducing wound length, treatment duration, and difficulty incidence.
