Study Notes
Hemostatic Agent Use in Plastic Surgery
- Study Aim: To investigate the efficacy of hemostatic agents in reducing postoperative bleeding complications and JP drain duration in plastic surgery procedures.
- Operations Included: Bilateral breast reduction, panniculectomy, and abdominoplasty.
- Hemostatic Agents Used: Fibrin sealant (FS) and combination powder (CP).
- Data Collected: Type of operation, use of hemostatic agent, duration of follow-up, time to JP drain removal, postoperative complications, and specimen weight.
- Findings: Hemostatic agents resulted in reduced JP drain duration and fewer postoperative bleeding complications, primarily in breast reduction procedures.
Breast Reduction Findings
- Non-hemostatic group: 6.6% seroma, 1.6% hematoma, and 1.6% return to the operating room (OR).
- CP group: No hematomas, seromas, or return to OR.
- FS group: 4.5% seroma, 1.5% hematoma, and no returns to OR.
- JP Drain duration: 3.46 days for CP compared to 6.92 days for FS (P < 0.01 - statistically significant).
Abdominoplasty and Panniculectomy Findings
- Non-hemostatic group: 6.6% seroma, 8.2% hematoma, and 4.9% return to OR.
- CP group: No hematomas, seromas, or return to OR.
- FS group: One instance each of hematoma, seroma, and return to OR.
Potential Benefits of Hemostatic Agents
- Reduced JP drain duration: Possibly contributing to faster recovery and reduced patient discomfort.
- Fewer postoperative complications: May help minimize seroma and hematoma formation and related complications.
- Cost-effectiveness: Reduced JP drain time may translate into lower healthcare costs.
Limitations of the Study
- Retrospective study design: Limited control over variables and potential for recall bias.
- Single surgeon experience: Results may not be generalizable to other surgeons or institutions.
- Limited sample size, especially in the CP group: May impact the generalizability of findings.
