THE APPLICATION OF MAGNETIC FIELDS AND FLUCTUORIZATION IN THE EARLY POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD IN PATIENTS AFTER RADICAL MASTECTOMY

We conducted an objective and instrumental examination in 76 patients with radical mastectomy in the early postoperative period (2-4 days), after which the patients of the 1st group (n = 38) underwent a course of fluctuation of the muscles of the shoulder girdle and upper extremity from the side of operative interference without interruption. Group 2 (n = 38) after the course, the course of fluctuation of the muscles of the shoulder girdle and upper limb from the side of operative interference without interruption was carried out extended low-intensity magnetic therapy of the postoperative area and arm. It has been proved that with this combination, the patient notes an improvement in the quality of life, postoperative swelling decreases, pain syndrome decreases, lymphorrhea periods shorten. As a result of the study, the number of postoperative complications in the wound area decreased (inflammation, infectious processes, pain, seam divergence). There is an increase in the amount and quality of movements, reduced sensitivity disorders in the upper limbs. The results of remote infrared thermography showed that the positive dynamics remained only in patients from both groups who received the combined use of two factors, which proves the prolongation of the clinical effect. Thus, the combination of two physical factors in the early postoperative period, in patients after radical mastectomy, has broad functionality and allows to obtain a more pronounced and stable clinical result.
