RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dupuytren's disease often leads to an increasing limitation in finger extension in affected patients. As the incidence rises with age, the number of cases is expected to rise in the future due to the demographic change. Therefore, an easy and patient-oriented treatment is required. In the following study, we investigated the short and medium-term results after percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Overall, 65 fingers of 40 patients were treated with PNF. We evaluated the total passive deficit of extension (TPED), the passive deficit of extension of the joints (PED), the Buck-Gramcko score, rate of recurrence, DASH score and patient satisfaction. The average age of the patients was 65,9 years. Most of the patients (82%) were male. RESULTS: Directly after the PNF, extension in the treated fingers improved significantly (TPED before PNF 74,6°±41,1 SD to 32,8°±29,0 SD after the procedure). By the time of the follow-up examination (30,2±13,9 SD months), TPED had increased again (52,7°±40,2 SD). The rate of recurrence was 29,7%, and a higher Tubiana stage before the procedure correlated significantly with a higher recurrence rate. Nevertheless, patients demonstrated a very high level of satisfaction with the procedure and almost all patients would choose to undergo PNF again. CONCLUSION: Although it is associated with a relatively high recurrence rate, PNF represents an effective and patient-oriented treatment of Dupuytren's contracture.

RESUMO

Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a life threatening complication after cardiac surgery. In severe cases, flaps are needed to cover the wound. However, it is controversial if an aseptic environment is necessary at the time of wound closure. This is a retrospective study of 73 patients with DSWI treated by debridement and local or free flap from June 2008 until December 2017. The influence of positive microbiological findings at the time of plastic reconstructive surgery on reoperation rate and length of in-hospital stay was analyzed. Microbiological exams revealed positive results in 47 (64.4%) and no results in 26 patients. Reoperation had to be performed in 21.3% (positive cultures) versus 15.4% (p = .54), mean in hospital stay was 24.1 days (positive cultures) versus 21.8 days (p = .39) and in-hospital mortality was 6.4% (positive cultures) versus 7.7% (p = .83). Positive microbial findings at the time of plastic reconstructive surgery in patients with DSWI are not associated with a higher reoperation or mortality rate or a longer in-hospital stay. Repeated debridement and vacuum-assisted therapy to achieve negative microbial results might not be necessary in the treatment of these patients.Key messagesPositive microbial findings at the time of plastic reconstructive surgery in patients with deep sternal wound infection seems not to be associated with a higher reoperation or mortality rate or a longer in-hospital stay.The influence of positive microbiological findings at the time of plastic reconstructive surgery on reoperation rate and length of in-hospital stay was analyzed in 73 patients with deep sternal wound infection.Microbiological exams revealed positive results in 47 (64.4%) and no results in 26 patients.
