Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to show that endoscopic surgery is a simple and acceptable method for various problems associated with wounds, range of motion and that such surgery ensures an early return to work after treatment of nonresponding nonseptic bursitis.

Methods: Thirty-two patients with nonseptic bursitis caused by repeated minor trauma that did not respond to medical treatment from 2008 to 2012 were included in this study. Radiographic [anteroposterior and lateral], ultrasound, macro and microscopic analyses of drainage liquid and aerobic and anaerobic cultures were obtained from the patients for the diagnosis.

Results: The mean age was 40.8 years. Fifteen patients had prepatellar bursitis, 13 had olecranon bursitis and 4 had ankle bursitis. Two patients had a history of falling on their knee. The other patients had a history of repetitive stimulation .The mean follow up period was 2.6 years [range. 2-5 years] and no medical complications occurred after the endoscopic surgery; such as scarring, loss of sensation and infection. One recurrence in response to medical treatment was observed.

Conclusion: Endoscopic bursectomy is a short and acceptable procedure with excellent results in terms of returning to work early and minimal wound related problems. J Clin Exp Invest 2015; 6 (3): 220-223

Non-Septik bursitlerin endoskopik cerrahi ile tedavisi

Abstract

Amaç: Amacımız, nonseptik bursitlerde endoskopik cerrahinin yara problemleri, hareket açıklıkları ve işe erken dönüş açısından çok önemli faydalar sağladığını gösteren kabul edilebilir bir işlem olduğunu göstermektir.Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya 2008-2012 yılları arasında medikal tedaviye yanıt vermemiş tekrarlayan minör travmalarla oluşmuş nonseptik bursitisli hastalar alındı. Tanı için tüm hastalarda; AP ve yan grafiler, ultrasound, sıvının mikro ve makroskopik analizleri ve aerobik ve anaerobik kültürler çalışıldı. Bulgular: Yaş ortalamaları 40,8 yıl ve takip süresi 2,6[25] yıl olan ikisi diz travması ve diğerleri repetitif minör travmalarla oluşan 15 prepatellar 13 olekranon ve 4 ayak bileği bursitinde; endoskopik cerrahi sonrası yara skarı, duyu kaybı ve enfeksiyon gibi komplikasyonlar olmadı. Medikal tedaviye yanıt veren 1 adet nüks görüldü.Sonuç: Endoskopik bursektomi kısa ameliyat ve işe dönme süresi, minimal yara problemleri ve mükemmel sonuçlar nedeniyle güvenilir ve uygulanabilir bir işlemdir
