[Vacuum sealing drainage as an adjuvant treatment of severe scrotal infectious disease: Clinical analysis of 9 cases].

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.
