Pediatric otolaryngology surgeries are crucial interventions requiring careful consideration of surgical methods to optimize outcomes. The choice between open and minimally invasive surgical approaches in this context warrants thorough investigation. While both methods aim to address ear, nose, and throat conditions in children, a comparative study assessing their impact on crucial factors such as intraoperative parameters, wound healing, complications, and
postoperative pain is essential. This study aims to compare the effects of open and minimally invasive surgical methods on wound healing and
infection in pediatric otolaryngology surgery, and provide a scientific basis for the selection of surgical methods. Two groups of patients were selected, with 90 people in each group. One group received open surgery and the other received
minimally invasive surgery. Recording the intraoperative time,
anesthesia time, and intraoperative blood loss; the number of days required for wound healing; the occurrence of
wound-related complications; the comparison of
pain on postoperative Days 1, 3, and 7; and the factors influencing postoperative wound healing were analyzed. In the
minimally invasive surgery group, the intraoperative time was shorter, the
anesthesia time was relatively reduced, and the amount of
bleeding was significantly reduced.
Wounds also take fewer days to heal and have lower rates of
wound-related complications. When comparing the
pain on 1, 3, and 7 days after surgery, the
minimally invasive surgery group had relatively mild
pain. Analysis of postoperative wound healing factors showed that minimally invasive surgical methods have a positive impact on healing. In pediatric otolaryngology
surgery, minimally invasive surgery performs better than open surgery in terms of intraoperative operation time,
anesthesia time, blood loss, wound healing time, complication rate, and
postoperative pain. Therefore,
minimally invasive surgery may be a safer and more effective surgical method.
