Abstract

Aim: Bites are an essential cause of injury since the world. Treatment of bites is made according to specific guides and principles. The study's purpose is to examine the demographic characteristics of patients hospitalized due to bite wounds and to be a guide for new studies and treatments by sharing surgical treatment experiences.Patients and Methods: Patients who were bitten and required surgical treatment were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, tetanus, and rabies prophylaxis, infection agents isolated from the wound, antibiotherapies, and surgical treatments were recorded.Results: Of the patients, 43 were male and mean age (±SD) of 34.5±23.8years (range, 3-85 years). Bites were most common in the head and neck region in the patients under 15 years old and In extremities in the patients over 15 years old. Of the injuries, 78.1% were caused by dogs, 12.5% by wild animals, 6.3% by other pet species, and 3.1% by humans. The intervention was made to all the patients according to guide of rabies prophylaxis specified by the Ministry of Health, General Directorate of Public Health. Forty patients received tetanus prophylaxis, 62 patients received rabies prophylaxis, and rabies immunoglobulin was applied to patients considered. The patients were started with amoxicillin-clavulanate, followed by crystallized penicillin-G as prophylactic antibiotics. Twelve (18.8%) patient underwent an urgent operation on the date of arrival. No complication was seen in any of the patients who underwent early and late repairs.Conclusion: Bacterial burden of the wound can be reduced enough to allow urgent repair owing to the irrigation of the wound with plenty of pressurized and soapy water in bites.

Özet

Amaç: Isırıklar tüm dünyada önemli bir yaralanma sebebidir. Belli rehber ve prensiplere göre ısırıkların tedavisi yapılır. Bu çalışmada amacımız yatarak tedavi edilen ısırık yaralarının demografik özelliklerini incelemek, cerrahi tedavi deneyimlerimizi paylaşarak yeni çalışmalar ve tedaviler için yol gösterici olmaktır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya ısırık nedeniyle yatırılarak tedavi gerektiren hastalar dahil edildi. Demografik özellikleri, tetanoz ve kuduz proflaksisi, yaradan izole edilen enfeksiyon etkenleri, antibiyoterapiler, cerrahi tedaviler kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 43 ü erkek ve ortalama yaş (±SD) of 34.5±23.8 (min3-85max). Isırıklar en sık 15 yaş altı hastalarda baş boyun bölgesinde, 15 yaş üstü hastalarda ekstremitelerde görüldü. Yaralanmaların 78.1% si köpek, 12.5% i yabani hayvan, 6.3% diğer evcil hayvan, 3.1%’i insan kaynaklı idi. Hastaların tümüne Sağlık Bakanlığı Halk Sağlığı Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından belirlenen Kuduz Proflaksi Rehberi’ne göre müdahale edilmişti. Tetanoz proflaksisi gereken 40 hastaya tetanoz, 62 hastaya kuduz proflaxisi ve gereken hastalara kuduz immunglobülini yapılmıştı. Hastalara proflaktik antibiyotik olarak en sık amoksisilin klavulonat, ve takiben kristalize penisilin-G başlanmıştı. 12 (18.8%) hastaya geldiği gün acil cerrahi yapılmış idi. Erken ve geç onarım yapılan hastaların hiçbirinde komplikasyon görülmemişti. Sonuç: Isırıklarda yaranın bol ve basınçlı sabunlu su ile irrigasyonu sayesinde yaranın bakteriyel yükü, acil onarım yapılmasına olanak sağlayacak kadar azaltılabilir.
