| Objective: To study the effects of rehabilitation training combined with pressure treatment on lower limb edema after radical hysterectomy. Methods: 120 patients after radical hysterectomy were randomly divided into the study group and the control group, 60 patients in each group. The two groups were given routine cervical cancer postoperative care. Additionally, the study group was treated by rehabilitation training combined with pressure treatment. Results: At 7th and 14th day after surgery, the middle thigh circumferences in the study group were significantly less than in the control group (P<0.05). At 7th day after surgery, there was significant difference in lower limb swelling and pain betweent two groups (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the trouble walking betweeen two groups. At 7th day after surgery, D-dimer in the two groups was increased, more significantly in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the prothrombin time between the two groups. At 7th and 14th day after surgery and at 14 day after discharge, the SPB score in the two groups showed a gradually decreasing trend, and that in the study group was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). At 14th day after surgery, the color Doppler ultrasound of deep vein of lower limbs showed that lower limb deep vein thrombosis occurred in one case in the study group, and 5 cases in the control group (1.67% vs.8.33%, P<0.05). Conclusion: Rehabilitation training combined with pressure treatment can effectively reduce the incidence of lower limb edema, alleviate the subjective discomfort, and prevent the deep venous thrombosis of lower limb in postoperative cervical carcinoma patients. |
