| dc.description.abstract | The comparative study of warm versus, cold alternate with warm sitz baths made of 70 patients who had undergone anorectal surgery in Department of Surgery, Siriraj Hospital. The age range was 15-90 years. 55.7% of cases were in the 20-40 year range. Surgical indications were hemorrhoid, perianal abscess, and fistula in ano 28.6%, 18.6%, 47.1% respectively. Post operative, the patients were placed into 2 groups. The first, 37 cases had warm sit baths with warm temperature 98-105o F (37-40o C) and the second, 33 cases had cold water temperature 60-65o F (15-18o C) alternating with warm sitz baths. All patients had 4 sitz bath times, at 4 hours intervals and duration 15 minutes. Pain, congestion and inflammation of surgical wound was assessed by observation. Chi-square-test was used for statistically significant difference. No significant difference was observed between the 2 groups in pain, congestion and inflammation of the wound. However the group treated by cold alternating with warm sitz baths appreciated more comfortable and satisfied with their treatment than the group having warm sitz baths only. | en_US |
