Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of applying foam dressing combined with self-made adhesive penile hood fixation in children after circumcision.Methods:A total of 101 cases of children who received circumcision from January to December 2020 in the urology department of the People′s Hospital of Xuancheng City were selected. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group (50 cases) and control group (51 cases). In the experimental group, the incision was wound with foam dressing combined with the self-made adhesive penile hood fixation method, while in the control group, the incision was wound with the conventional sterile gauze dressing combined with the simple plastic basket fixation method.The postoperative incision bleeding, prepuce edema, incision pain, incidence of complications and the satisfaction of the children′s family members on postoperative dressing and fixation were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of prepuce edema in the experimental group was 88.00% (44/50), 12.00% (6/50), 0, which in the control group was 43.14% (22/51), 45.10% (23/51), 11.76% (6/51), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z= -4.80, P<0.05). In the experimental group, pain score at 24 hours after operation and at the time of dressing change were 3.50 ± 1.04, 2.48 ± 0.54, respectively, which were lower than that of the control group 5.31 ± 1.36 and 7.12 ± 0.97, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=7.53, 29.66, all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative infection and urinary retention in the experimental group were 0 and 2.00% (1/50), respectively, which were lower than 7.84% (4/51) and 7.84% (4/51) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Fisher′s exact probability method, P<0.05). The degree of family satisfaction in the experimental group was 96.00% (48/50), which was higher than that in the control group (78.43%, 40/51), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=6.95, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of foam dressing combined with pasting penile hood after circumcision can reduce the degree of foreskin edema, pain and the incidence of complications, and improve the satisfaction of the children′s family members.
