Objective: To survey the condition of bacteria on the scar area; to improve the method and outcome of skin with scar prepared for plastic surgery. Methods: 49 patients were divided into group A and B randomly. 24 patients in group A were enrolled in control group and 25 patients in group B were designed for investigation group. Each scar was taken 3 samples to be cultured and submitted for sensitive test on admission day, before and after the skin with scar prepared. Each case was observed on the types and the condition of bacteria distribution on the scar. The outcome of cleaning and disinfection from the area was recorded. The relationship between the bacteria reproduction and types of scar was analyzed, and the observation of the postoperative temperature was made and the duration of antibiotics used and surgical site healing were recorded. Results: The positive rate of bacterial culture was reached 83.33% -88.00%. Two methods of skin prepared can diminish the bacteria reproduction. The outcomes of Group B was better than Group A. The temperature and wound healing days had no significant difference between the two groups. The days used of antibiotics in group B were significantly shorter than group A. Conclusion: The more effective method can improve the clean ingress of the skin than with usual method. 60% bacteria on the area removed was benefit to prevent wound infection and healing.
