Incision lines are marked<br />

Injection of incision site with Xylo<br />

with methylene blue or caine 1% with adrenaline 1:200,000<br />

gentian violet dilution. Done even under G.A. our<br />

experience has shown that we have been<br />

using as much as 2/3 less maintenance<br />

dose of G.A.drugs (Ethrane). This<br />

redounds to a cheaper, safer surgery<br />

and a patient who wakes up faster<br />

After meticulous hemostasis, suturing<br />

in 3 layers is done (mucosa, muscle,<br />

skin) using chromic 3-0 and silk 5-<br />

5 or 6-0,<br />

The wound is cleaned and an antiseptic<br />

:solution (betadine) is applied 6<br />

Band aid is then apllied which we feel<br />

release some of the skin tension and<br />

has some pressure dressing effect.<br />

The wound is cleaned of dried blood<br />

the next day and an antibiotic ointment<br />

applied. The ointment helps prevent<br />

crust Iormation. An open dressing<br />

is preferred.<br />

Antibiotics am given routinely for<br />

9 3-5 days in areas where sterile<br />

conditions are in doubt. This means in<br />

Sutures are removed in 5-7 days most areas.<br />

by local medical personnel.<br />
