简要总结
Purpose to evaluate the effect of alcohol used in accidentally opened dermoid cyst in prevention of inflammation and recurrence Patient and method: Itt is a comparative interventional study ,performed on 60 patients with external angular dermoid cysts that were accidentally opened during surgical removal , they were divided into two groups ,Group (A) includes 30 patients where only saline was used to wash the surgical field while group(B) includes 30 patients where ethyl alcohol 70% was used.
详细描述
- Study Design and Rationale:
This is a comparative interventional study designed to evaluate the efficacy of 70% ethyl alcohol in preventing inflammation and recurrence in cases of accidentally opened external angular dermoid cysts during surgical removal. The rationale for using 70% ethyl alcohol is based on its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, which may reduce the risk of postoperative infection and cyst recurrence compared to saline irrigation alone. 2. Patient Recruitment and Group Allocation:
Recruitment Sites: Patients were recruited from outpatient clinics at Beni-Suef University Hospitals, Fayoum University Hospitals, and MUST University Hospital.
Recruitment Period: May 2022 to May 2024.

结局指标
主要结局
post-operative inflammation
时间窗: 6 month
The primary outcome of post-operative inflammation measures the incidence of clinically significant inflammatory responses at the surgical site following excision of an accidentally opened external angular dermoid cyst. Inflammation is defined as the presence of two or more of the following clinical signs: Erythema (redness) extending ≥1 cm from the wound edges. Edema (swelling) at or around the surgical site. Local warmth compared to adjacent skin. Pain or tenderness reported by the patient or elicited during palpation. Purulent discharge from the incision site.
