Cecoplication

Cecoplication: Cecoplication is a term used in medicine and surgery to describe the process of forming an additional fold of skin or tissue. This procedure is used to close wounds, deep cuts and other skin lesions. It allows you to speed up the healing process of wounds and reduce the risk of complications.

Introduction: The purpose of this article is to study the process of cecoplication and its role in modern medicine. Cecoplication is a technique that prevents the development of frostbitten finger syndrome (SIS), since during ligation after amputation of a finger, dead skin is often torn and a wound is formed, after which SIS develops - neuropathy and outflow contracture. Clinically, this is manifested by a reduction and deformation of the finger, and the development of granulation tissue on the free surface of the scrotum of the finger. Cecoplication begins with treating the skin with an antiseptic and cooling the wound surface with ice. Apply bandages with antiseptics and enzymes for 2-3 days under pressure or gauze bandages. 3-4 days after the initial treatment, a study of the pulsation of the arteries and veins of the finger is carried out. If there is no pulsation, then the finger is stitched on supporting napkins using sterile Vaseline with a 40–60% alcohol solution for 1–2 days. After initial treatment, the wound is closed with a cecoplication bandage. A cecoplastic casing is placed over the entire phalanx over the bandage.
