This study evaluated the efficacy of sterile distilled water irrigation for preventing abdominal incision endometriosis in 120 patients undergoing cesarean sections. Participants were randomized to receive postoperative incision rinses with normal saline, 0.5% povidone-iodine, or sterile distilled water, and their outcomes were compared regarding pain levels, quality of life, satisfaction, and complication rates. The results indicated that both povidone-iodine and sterile distilled water significantly reduced pain and improved quality of life and satisfaction compared to normal saline, with no statistically significant differences observed between the two active treatment groups. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the prevention of abdominal wall incision endometriosis following cesarean section through surgical wound irrigation techniques.

Abstract

To explore the value of sterile distilled water in the care of patients with endometriosis in abdominal wall incision.120 patients who underwent cesarean section under combined lumbar and rigid anesthesia in our hospital from August 2017 to January 2018 were selected as study subjects, and all patients were treated surgically, and were randomly divided into three experimental groups according to their nursing treatment after surgery, control group I (n=40): using saline rinse; control group II (n=40): using 0.5 % povidone-iodine rinse; experimental Group (n=40): sterile distilled water rinses were used. Observation and comparison of patients’ pain status before and after care, quality of life after care and satisfaction with care and the occurrence of complications. The pain and quality of life scores of the three groups of patients before nursing were not significantly different, and after nursing, the pain of patients in all groups was reduced, and the pain and quality of life of patients in the control II group and the test group were significantly reduced compared with the control I group (p<0.05), and there was a significant difference in the quality of life comparison between the control II group and the experimental group (p0.05). After care, the satisfaction of patients in the control II group and the test group was significantly higher (p0.05). Compared with the control I group, patients in the control II and test groups had significantly lower complication rates, but the difference between the control II and experimental groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The application of sterile distilled water rinsing in the care of patients with abdominal wall incision endometriosis can reduce the pain and alleviate the suffering of patients, while also effectively preventing complications and helping to shorten the recovery process.
