Abstract:
[Objective] To explore the effectiveness of scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage (scrotal girdle) in preventing postoperative complications of varicocele. [Methods] A total of 80 patients with varicocele who underwent microscopical varicocele ligation during Dec.2021 and May 2023 were divided into the experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by the random number table method.All patients received wound dressing one week after surgery and stopped using it after wound healing.Additionally, the experimental group was treated with scrotal girdle for another 8 weeks.The preoperative and postoperative scores of scrotal edema on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day after surgery, satisfaction, length of hospital stay, frequency of dressing changes, pain intensity, complications, serum testosterone level and semen routine at the 12th week after surgery were compared between the two groups. [Results] The score of scrotal edema in the experimental group was (1.12±0.38) on the 6th day after operation, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.68±0.50) (P<0.05). The hospitalization time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group, and the frequency of dressing changes was also significantly reduced, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The patient satisfaction was 95% in the experimental group higher than 80% in the control group (P<0.05). The sperm density was (54.12±6.23) ×106/L and the sperm motility rate was (66.45±0.44)% in the experimental group, while the sperm density was (41.53±8.51) ×106/L and the sperm motility rate was (57.85±0.47)% in the control group.The sperm density, sperm motility rate, and sperm malformation rate of both groups were significantly improved after surgery, and the sperm density and sperm motility rate of the experimental group improved more significantly than those of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage is more advantageous than traditional external bandaging materials for patients with varicocele after operation, which can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients and has more clinical practicability.
