Internal Jugular vein performance after functional neck dissection and the role of seprafilm

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, fonksiyonel boyun disseksiyonu sonrasında internal juguler ven fonksiyonlarının ve Seprafilm®’in ameliyat sonrası iyileşme üzerindeki rolünün araştırılması amaçlandı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Fonksiyonel boyun disseksiyonu yapılacak 23 hasta rastgele iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci grupta 13 hastanın disseksiyon sonrası internal juguler venleri Seprafilm ile sarıldı. İkinci gruptaki 10 hasta kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Internal juguler ven fonksiyonları ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası üçüncü ayda değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Doppler incelemesi ile her iki grubun ameliyat sonrası internal juguler ven fonksiyonları arasında istatistiksel bir fark görülmedi. Sonuç: Fonksiyonel boyun disseksiyonu sonrasında, ameliyat sonrası iyileşme sürecinin internal juguler ven daralmasında önemli bir rolü yoktur.

Fonksiyonel boyun disseksiyonu sonrasında internal juguler ven performansı ve seprafilm'in rolü

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the postoperative internal jugular vein function after functional neck dissection and the role of Seprafilm® on postoperative healing. Patients and Methods: Twenty-three patients undergoing functional neck dissection were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 consisted of 13 patients whose internal jugular veins were wrapped with Seprafilm. Group 2 consisted of 10 patients as the control group. Internal jugular vein function was assessed preoperatively and at three months after the operation. Results: The results of the Doppler examinations revealed no significant difference in postoperative internal jugular vein function between the two groups. Conclusion: Postoperative healing process does not have a significant role in postoperative internal jugular vein narrowing after functional neck dissection.
