Objectives: The effect of DBD plasma therapy on wound healing after labiaplasty.
Introduction: Background: It is important for a surgeon to control complications such as redness, swelling, itching, discharge and especially dehiscence after labiaplasty. DBD (dielectric barrier discharge) plasma therapy, which can be a less complicated and safe method in controlling skin complications and accelerating wound healing, was used in the present study for patients underwent labiaplasty and its effect on the mentioned complications was investigated.
Materials / method: Methods: In this quasi experimental study, 40 patients aged 30-40 who had undergone trim labiaplasty surgery were recruited. None of them had medical history, smoking, or medication. DBD plasma therapy was performed on days 3, 7 and 10 after the surgery. Each session lasted for 10 minutes. The operation site was assessed for redness, secretion and itching on days 7 and 14, and the wound was reassessing for dehiscence until day 21.
Results: Results: Following the DBD plasma therapy that started on the 3rd day after the labiaplasty and was repeated on the 7th and 10th days, the wound assessment on the 7th day showed that 2.5% of the women's wounds had high level of secretions, 20% had moderate level of secretions, and 77% had low secretion, while on the 14th day, these values reached zero, 5% and 95%, respectively; and these changes were statistically significant (P<0.05). The redness of the wounds decreased from 5% among cases on the 7th day to zero on the 14th day (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Conclusion: Considering the results of this study, DBD plasma therapy can help the surgeon to control post-operative wound complications, provide women's health and subsequently improve their satisfaction with the changes made. Therefore, the use of DBD after surgery can make labiaplasty the satisfactory experience for both the surgeon and the patient.
