Abstract:
This paper reported 13 cases of delayed traumatic chest wall abscess from January 2012 to January 2015.All the patients were associated with type 2 diabetes.After local puncture for confirmative diagnosis, a chest wall abscess dissection was carried out as soon as possible.At each site of upper and lower pole, an indwelling drainage tube was placed for irrigation and negative pressure suction.Sensitive antibiotics were selected based on susceptibility test results.The drainage tubes were removed 7-14 days after surgery.There were 8 cases of primary healing of incision and 5 cases of secondary healing of incision.All the patients were cured.Follow-ups for 6-36 months (average, 17 months) showed no recurrence.
