Follow-up care

Follow-up care

The postoperative management of pressure ulcers is focused on local wound care to reduce infection, tension, and dehiscence.124 Complete immobilization for 3 to 6 weeks is the conventional recommendation to allow the flap to heal and reach an appropriate tensile strength for movement. Sitting therapy can then be initiated, but should progress slowly for the first 2 weeks.106

CONCLUSIONS

Chronic wounds are a common problem, and are a major source of morbidity and expense in the healthcare system. While standard care for chronic wounds is predicated on several fundamental principles, such as offloading and compression, surgical approaches to these wounds are increasingly used to augment healing and increase the chances that a given wound will heal. A deep appreciation of and familiarity with the full range of surgical and procedural options for chronic wounds is important for the dermatologic surgeon.
