Abstract

Background: Shaving before cranial surgery has been a common practice for many decades.Most of the studies were about the infection rates, but there is a few data about the effect ofshaving on patient mood. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of not shavingwhen performing a craniotomy on the mood of the patients.Methods: Patients who underwent a craniotomy between September 2010 and September2011 and agreed to complete a questionnaire after the surgery were included in the study.Results: 207 patients included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 44.51±18.00years. 114 patients (55.07%) did not think about shaving when they first learned they wouldundergo a craniotomy; 133 (64.2%) did not ask their surgeons about being shaved during thecraniotomy. 30 patients (14.4%) pointed out that not being shaved was an important factor inchoosing the surgeon. Nineteen (9.1%) patients complained about the wide scar tissue andalopecia.Conclusion: Not shaving is a strong factor that affects the time necessary to get back to one'sroutine and orientation to social life after craniotomy without increasing infection rates.However, it is not a factor that affects the patient's choice of doctors.

Özet

Amaç: Kraniyal ameliyatlardan önce hastanın saçlarının kesilmesi çok uzun yıllardan beriuygulanan genel bir uygulamadır. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların çoğu enfeksiyon oranıüzerinedir; ancak hastaların duygu durumlarına yönelik çok az çalışma bulunmaktadır. Buçalışmanın amacı saç kesilmeden yapılan kraniyotomilerin hasta duygu durumu üzerineetkilerini araştırmaktır.Yöntem: Eylül 2010 ve Eylül 2011 tarihleri arasında kraniyotomi uygulanan ve cerrahisonrası anket formunu doldurmayı kabul eden hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir.Bulgular: 207 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 44.51±18.00 yıl idi.114 hasta (55.07%) ilk olarak kraniyotomi uygulanacağını öğrendiğinde saç kesilmesihakkında düşünmemişti; 133 (64.2%) kişi cerrahlarına kraniyotomi sırasında saçlarının kesilipkesilmeyeceğini sormamışdı. 30 hasta (14.4%) saç kesilmemesinin cerrahlarını seçmedeönemli bir etken olduğunu belirtti. On dokuz (9.1%) hasta geniş skar dokusu ve alopesidenşikayetçiydi.Sonuç: Saç kesilmemesi kraniyotomiden sonra enfeksiyon oranlarını arttırmadan kişininsosyal hayata oryantasyonunu ve rutin hayatına dönme süresini kısaltan önemli bir faktördür.Bununla beraber hastaların doktor seçimini etkileyen bir faktör değildir.
