Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of surgical treatment on chest wall tuberculosis. Methods A total of 407 patients with chest wall tuberculosis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from April 2008 to December 2017 in Chengdu Public Health Clinical Medical Center were enrolled. They were divided into two groups according to the time of admission: a control group (203 patients admitted from April 2008 to December 2012) treated with traditional focus debridement, including 135 males and 68 females, with an average age of 40.65±4.68 years, and an observation group (204 patients admitted from 2013 to 2017) undergoing complete focus debridement, including 139 males and 65 females, with an average age of 40.73±4.72 years. The general clinical data, perioperative related indexes, incision healing, incidence of complications and recurrence between the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in general clinical data, operation time, postoperative pain time, extubation time, hospital stay or recurrence rate between the two groups (P>0.05), but compared with the control group the grade A healing rate in the observation group was significantly higher and incidence of complications was significantly lower (P<0.05). Conclusion Thorough debridement can achieve a better effect in the treatment of chest wall tuberculosis, and help to reduce complications and promote wound healing. It is suitable for clinical application.
