Open wound management following pull‐through resection for oral cancer: A case series of 14 patients

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

●Following pull-through resection for oral cancer, primary closure of the oral defect is sometimes difficult. Incompletely closed defects may result in surgical site infection (SSI). ●We investigated the occurrence of SSI during and after open wound management following pull-through resection, other surgical outcomes, and postoperative quality of life (QOL). ●Open wound management was performed when the resection range was preoperatively expected to be half or less of the tongue and the defect was difficult to close primarily. ●The defect was left open, and drains were placed through the defect. The wound was cleansed after surgery, and the drains were removed as the wound healed. ●Open wound management was a simple and safe method with no occurrence of SSI. Postoperative QOL was acceptable when the oral defects were contained within half of the mobile tongue or less than half of the tongue base.
