Application of System Nursing in the Prevention of Postoperative Nonstructural Scoliosis in Patients With Ear Reconstruction.

Objective: To evaluate whether early systematic nursing can reduce the occurrence of postoperative nonstructural scoliosis in patients undergoing ear reconstruction.
Methods: A total of 136 patients with congenital microtia who underwent ear reconstruction surgery at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from, January 2022 to July 2022 were included as study subjects. They were randomly divided into a routine nursing group and a systematic nursing group. After preoperative and postoperative education, as well as continuous follow-up intervention after surgery, spinal CT three-dimensional imaging examination was performed 6 months later to measure the Cobb angle and observe the occurrence of spinal scoliosis.
Results: Compared with the routine nursing group, the incidence and severity of postoperative nonstructural scoliosis were significantly reduced in patients who received systematic nursing.
Conclusions: Systematic nursing intervention for patients undergoing ear reconstruction can help prevent the occurrence of postoperative nonstructural scoliosis and has a positive effect on improving patient prognosis. It is worth promoting in clinical treatment.
