Goal.

To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive approach to preoperative management of patients with late sequelae of lower extremity burns (LEBs), in particular, after previous unsuccessful surgical interventions, with an emphasis on optimizing the choice of anesthetic management to improve the quality of recovery.

Material and methods.

A singlecenter retrospective and prospective comparative analysis of treatment outcomes was conducted in 73 patients with OPNK. Two groups were formed depending on the anesthesia method used: Group 1 (n=47) – endotracheal anesthesia (ETA), and Group 2 (n=26) – alternative anesthesia methods (AMA), including spinal and conduction techniques. The main endpoints were: the quality of postoperative recovery according to the QoR15 scale, pain intensity according to the visual analogue scale (VAS), the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the need for opioid analgesics, the speed of rehabilitation, and the incidence of complications.

Results.

The use of AMA compared with ETN was associated with a statistically significantly higher quality of recovery according to the QoR15 scale (median 130 vs. 110 points; p<0.001), a 2.5fold decrease in the need for opioid analgesics (p<0.001), a decrease in the incidence of PONV (3.8% vs. 29.8%; p<0.01) and a reduction in the postoperative hospital stay by 3.2 days (p=0.002). The advantages of AMA were especially pronounced in patients with a history of repeated interventions. In the prospective group, where the proportion of AMA was increased, the overall incidence of postoperative complications decreased from 28.9% to 11.4% (p<0.05). 

Conclusion.

Selecting alternative anesthesia methods (spinal, regional) is a key component in optimizing the perioperative care of patients with POLYANTHROAT ANCHOR, especially after previous unsuccessful surgeries. This approach significantly improves the quality of early postoperative recovery, accelerates rehabilitation, and creates favorable conditions for achieving the best surgical outcomes.
