Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effects of silicon dressing on incision healing after dermatologic surgery. Methods Total 68 patients after dermatologic surgery in our hospital from October 2013 to July 2014 were divided into treatment group and control group. The control group including 35 patients was treated with regular dressing, and the treatment group including 33 patients was treated with silicon dressing at the foundation of regular dressing. Incision healing time, class-A healing rate and scar formation rate were evaluated in the two groups, respectively. Results Incision healing time [(5.09±1.22) d], class-A healing rate (32 cases, 99.7%) and scar formation rate (0 cases, 0.0%) in treatment group were significantly better than those (7.00±0.87) d, 88.6% (31 cases) and 11.4% (4 cases) in control group. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05]. Conclusions Silicon dressing can be used to improve the incision healing after dermatologic surgery.
