Abstract:
Background:
Investigating how subcutaneous pressure impacts the
requirement for amputation in cases of leg cellulitis. Cellulitis is an
infection of the skin and the tissues beneath it. Subcutaneous edoema is caused
by an inflammatory reaction that causes redness, heat, and discomfort.
Methods:
This observational study included 25 people who had
unilateral cellulitis of the legs. Subcutaneous pressure was measured in both
healthy and cellulitic limbs of voluntarily sampled volunteers. The study
comprised patients with lower-extremity cellulitis of the knee who sought care
at the surge or the Department of General Surgery, Dr. Patnam Mahender Reddy
Institute of Medical Sciences, Chevella. Hyderabad, Telangana, India, and were
admitted to the surgery wards between the years May 2018
to April 2019.
Results:
Patients who had their cellulitic legs treated
conservatively fared worse than those who had surgery. The study participants'
signs and symptoms were identical to those previously documented in the medical
literature. The symptoms were swelling, redness, heat, and pain.
