Our Treatment Principles and Results in Pressure Sores

Abstract

In this study, our experiences with 43 patients who were treated for pressure sore between the years 1993 and 2001 in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Uludağ University Medical School were presented. Cases were investigated regarding the age, sex, etiologic factors, location of pressure sore and stage, preferred surgical methods and the complications of surgery. Forty-three cases had 70 pressure sores. Thirtythree cases were men and 10 cases were women. The mean age was 48 years. Most common etiologic factor was paraplegia with 34 cases and most common risk factor for paraplegia was traffic accident with 15 cases. Most common location was sacral area with 30 cases. According to the staging system, 61 cases were stage III and 9 cases were stage IV. Preferred surgical options were gluteal musculocutaneous flap for sacral pressure sores, tensor fascia lata musculocutaneous flap for trochanteric pressure sores and inferior gluteal musculocutaneous flap for ischial pressure sores. Most common acute postoperative complication was hematoma and seroma with 6 cases. Recurrence was observed in only 3 cases.
