Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report case of hypergranulation tissue that occurred after laparotomy and dissected by CO2 laser.
Methods : A 72-year-old female had hypergranulation tissue on the epigastrium. Local anesthesia was achieved with bufonis venenum pharmacopuncture. The CO2 laser was used for dissection. After removal of granulation, irrigation with soyeom pharmacopuncture solution and simple interrupted suture were performed.
Yeonkyopaedok-san were administered for 7 days and the suture was removed after 14 days. At last, saengkigo was applied.
Results : Hypergranulation tissue sized 1.0×1.0×1.0㎝ was clearly removed. Including excessive growing of granulation tissue, adverse effects were not reported until the clear skin adhesion.
Conclusions : Hypergranulation tissue was surgically removed and sutured completely without any complications by using pharmacopuncture, oral herbal medicine and ointment that have anti-inflammatory effects and wound healing. Through this study, it is hoped that surgery including suture will be actively performed in more diverse diseases in the Korean medicine community.
