Abstract
Objective: To study the nursing effect of liposuction and volume reduction in the treatment of lymphedema during the perioperative period. Method: A total of 68 patients treated with liposuction volume reduction surgery for pseudo-lymphedema of lower limbs admitted from May 2019 to May 2020 in a tertiary hospital in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province were selected, and they were divided into observation group and control group by random grouping method. There were 34 cases in each group. The control group took routine care during the perioperative period, while the observation group performed full care during the perioperative period. The complication rate and pain degree of the two groups were compared. Results: The complication rate of the study group was 5.88%, while that of the control group was 26.67%. Compared with the study group, the complication rate was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the gap was statistically significant (P>0.05). The pain scores of patients in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 3 and 6 days after surgery, and the gap was statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Lymphedema should be taken care of during the perioperative period of liposuction and volume reduction, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of pain and complications. It is worthy of extensive clinical promotion.
