研究概览
简要总结
Totally endoscopic cardiac surgery (TECS) is considered to have aesthetic advantages over conventional median sternotomy due to the smaller incisions. Most research regarding TECS focuses on clinical outcomes instead of cosmetic consequences. Following surgery, postoperative scarring is unavoidable and may negatively affect the patient's physical and emotional well-being. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cosmesis after TECS.
详细描述
Totally endoscopic cardiac surgery (TECS) is considered to have aesthetic advantages over conventional median sternotomy due to the smaller incisions. Most research regarding TECS focuses on clinical outcomes instead of cosmetic consequences. Following surgery, postoperative scarring is unavoidable and may negatively affect the patient's physical and emotional well-being. One previous study compared median sternotomy cardiac surgery and TECS in terms of the long-term cosmetic appearance of postoperative scars. They concluded that scars were considered more satisfactory, less painful, and itchy in the TECS group in the Chinese population. To our knowledge, this is the only study published regarding cosmetic consequences after TECS. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cosmesis after TECS.

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluate the cosmesis through the Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating (SCAR) scale at postoperative day 30.
时间窗: Postoperative day 30
The SCAR scale includes both objective measurements and patient-reported symptoms. A low score corresponds to a good scar cosmesis and a high score to a bad scar cosmesis.
Evaluate the cosmesis through the Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating (SCAR) scale at postoperative day 14.
时间窗: Postoperative day 14
The SCAR scale includes both objective measurements and patient-reported symptoms. A low score corresponds to a good scar cosmesis and a high score to a bad scar cosmesis.
Evaluate the cosmesis through the Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating (SCAR) scale at postoperative day one.
时间窗: Postoperative day one
The SCAR scale includes both objective measurements and patient-reported symptoms. A low score corresponds to a good scar cosmesis and a high score to a bad scar cosmesis.
次要结局
- Cosmetic assessment from the patients through the numerical rating scale (NRS) at postoperative day one.(Postoperative day one)
- Cosmetic assessment from the patients through the numerical rating scale (NRS) at postoperative day 14.(Postoperative day 14)
- Cosmetic assessment from the patients through the numerical rating scale (NRS) at postoperative day 30.(Postoperative day 30)
