Brief summary
The method of Cotton Padding (mCP) was summarized by combining with many years clinical experience and the traditional ancient books.The mCP could be used in Rectovaginal Fistula (RVF) post operation effectively,in order to improve the wound.The research aim is to observe if the mCP could influence the time of staying in hospital, healing time after RVF surgery.
Detailed description
The method of Cotton Padding (mCP) originating from extensive and profound traditional chinese medicine (TCM) and being one of traditional surgical treatments of chronic wounds,could promote the wound healing after RVF surgery in previous clinical experience. The research aim is to observe if the mCP could influence the time of staying in hospital, healing time,quality of life,complications after RVF surgery. Also,investigators will try to explain the mechanism about the mDM improving the wound healing by the chinese architectural theory and the nanomechanical properties.
Interventions
