Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in the treatment of severe scrotal infectious diseases and to summarize the practical experience obtained during its implementation.
Methods: Clinical data from 9 patients with severe scrotal infectious diseases were compiled. All patients underwent debridement assisted by a VSD device in addition to conventional treatment measures.
Results: Following debridement with VSD device, combined with systemic anti-infection treatment and nutritional support, all patients exhibited favorable therapeutic outcomes, with no fatalities. The average duration of debridement was 81±27 minutes. One patient necessitated secondary debridement and skin grafting, while another was transferred to the ICU due to septic shock.
Conclusions: The application of VSD device can streamline the treatment process for severe scrotal infectious diseases, alleviate patient discomfort, and promote patient recovery.
