Efficacy of modified surgery in the treatment of breast abscess and its effects on inflammatory reaction and pain-related factors / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of modified surgery in the treatment of breast abscess and its effects on inflammatory reaction and pain-related factors.Methods:A total of 100 patients with breast abscess who were treated in Zhoushan Women and Children's Hospital from December 2019 to October 2022 were included in this study. They were divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 50 per group) using the random number table. The control group received vacuum assisted rotary resection, while the observation group underwent modified surgery. Operation conditions, postoperative complications, and postoperative conditions were recorded in each group. Before and 24 hours after surgery, inflammatory reaction and pain-related factors were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in operative time between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The intraoperative bleeding volume in the observation group was (23.14 ± 4.53) mL, which was significantly lower than (36.52 ± 7.18) mL in the control group ( t = 11.14, P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in the observation group was 6.00% (3/50), which was significantly lower than 20% (10/50) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.33, P < 0.05). The observation group had significantly lower postoperative visual analogue scale score [(2.42 ± 0.78) points], fewer dressing changes [(5.26 ± 1.34) times], and lower scar degree [(6.82 ± 1.27) mm] compared with the control group [(3.56 ± 0.89) points, (7.43 ± 1.62) times, (9.12 ± 1.54) mm, t = 6.81, 7.30, 8.15, all P < 0.001]. At 24 hours after surgery, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-1 β, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the observation group were (14.52 ± 3.37) mg/L, (182.13 ± 23.32) ng/L, and (20.08 ± 2.89) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (29.94 ± 5.45) mg/L, (231.24 ± 16.56) ng/L, and (29.98 ± 4.36) ng/L in the control group ( t = 17.02, 12.14, 13.38, all P < 0.001). At 24 hours after surgery, prostaglandin E 2 and substance P in the observation group were (97.14 ± 18.78) ng/L and (175.18 ± 24.37) μg/L respectively, which were significantly lower than (148.65 ± 20.06) ng/L and (265.41 ± 27.86) μg/L in the control group ( t = 13.26, 17.24, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:The modified surgical treatment for breast abscess shows significant effects with fewer complications and minimal impact on inflammatory response, effectively inhibiting the release of pain-related factors.
