AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the challenges of surgically treating penetrating trauma to the buttock due to its complex anatomy.
- It presents two cases where patients underwent successful surgery using spinal endoscopy, a minimally invasive technique.
- Both patients had their drainage tubes removed within a week, healed well, and were discharged from the hospital in less than two weeks, indicating effective treatment when major structures were not injured.
Article Abstract
Objective: Penetrating trauma to the buttock is relatively common. Because of the location of the trauma and complicated peripheral anatomical structures, surgery to the area can be difficult. We report the cases of 2 patients who sustained penetrating trauma to the buttock and underwent operative treatment assisted by spinal endoscopy.
Methods: With the rapid development of minimally invasive spine surgery techniques in recent years, especially the wide application of endoscopy, we treated 2 cases of penetrating trauma with endoscopic probing within the wound channel, followed by hemostasis and postoperative irrigation and drainage.
Results: Drainage tubes were removed from the 2 patients within 7 days after the surgery. Their wounds were healing well and they were discharged from the hospital within 12 days.
Conclusions: If there is no injury to the large blood vessels, intestines, or urinary system, satisfactory clinical results can be obtained using spinal endoscopy to probe, irrigate, and identify foreign objects, when combined with hemostasis, postoperative short-term irrigation and debridement, and the use of antibiotics.
