Epidemiological analysis and evolution of patients undergoing reconstructive plastic surgery in a trauma referral hospital
Introduction: Trauma injuries are sudden aggravations to health that may lead to temporary disabilities and interfere with the victim's quality of life. The reconstructive plastic surgery (RPS) unit of the Urgency and Emergency Metropolitan Hospital (Hospital Metropolitano de Urgência e Emergên...

| description | Introduction: Trauma injuries are sudden aggravations to health that may lead to temporary disabilities and interfere with the victim's quality of life. The reconstructive plastic surgery (RPS) unit of the Urgency and Emergency Metropolitan Hospital (Hospital Metropolitano de Urgência e Emergência - HMUE) is a referral unit for the treatment of trauma patients in the state of Pará, Brazil.
Methods: This was an observational, analytical, and cross-sectional prospective study. The study population was composed of 78 patients treated from December 2015 to December 2016.
Results: The study population was predominantly male, autonomous, and aged between 21 and 30 years. Traffic accidents were the most frequent cause of trauma. The most affected area was the lower limbs, and the most common type of surgery performed was grafting. Viability was in the range of 90-100% in both patients undergoing graft and flap surgery. No significant association was found between the age range of patients and the degree of viability. However, there was a relationship between the number of days from the accident until the medical intervention and the degree of graft viability.
Conclusion: Patients admitted to the hospital on the same day of the accident were six times more likely to present graft viability above 80%, and therefore, to have a favorable outcome. |
