Summary: | To present the results from early diagnosis and delayed surgical treatment of a cohort of patients who were diagnosed with Morel-Lavallée lesions.
Between January 2006 and December 2013, we performed delayed surgical debridement on Morel-Lavallée lesions, after delimitation of the local tissue necrosis, followed by closure through second intention and/or use of grafts/flaps.
All the patients evolved with complete closure of the lesion after the delayed debridement, granulation of the operative wound and primary suturing or construction of pedunculated flaps. Three patients (50%) evolved with deep infectious processes due to the successive operative procedures.
Whatever the treatment methods used are, they should be performed in a radical manner. If not, the patient will be at risk of evolution to septicemia and death.
apresentar os resultados do diagnóstico precoce e do tratamento cirúrgico tardio de uma coorte de pacientes diagnosticada com a lesão de Morel-Lavallée (LML).
de janeiro de 2006 a dezembro de 2013 os autores fizeram o desbridamento cirúrgico tardio da LML, após a delimitação da necrose tecidual local, seguido de fechamento por segunda intenção e/ou enxertos/retalhos.
todos os pacientes evoluíram com fechamento total da lesão após o desbridamento tardio a granulação da ferida operatória e a(os) sutura primária/retalhos pediculados. Três pacientes (50%) evoluíram com processo infeccioso profundo devido aos sucessivos procedimentos operatórios.
sejam quais forem os métodos de tratamento empregados, estes devem ser feitos de maneira radical, sob risco de evolução dos pacientes para septicemia e óbito. |
