Transversal escharotomies: a new surgical technique adjuvant in the treatment of chronic ulcers with non-arterial etiology in the lower limbs<A NAME="volta1"></A>

Abstract: The transversal escharotomies may favor the healing of non-arterial chronic ulcers in the lower limbs, impeding perpetual mechanisms of this sort. For example, the ankle and foot limitation determinates in secondary scars, skin contractures, dermatosclerosis that produce the failure in the muscular calf-pump with deterioration in the ascending venous propulsion.

“…Estas provêm, principalmente, de problemas venosos profundos, em que o aumento crônico da pressão sanguínea intraluminal nos membros inferiores deforma e dilata os vasos, tornando as microvalvas que existem no seu interior ineficientes para o efetivo retorno venoso, ocasionando estase e edema persistentes como resultados do refluxo. (SILVA et al, 2009;FREITAS;JULIÃO, 2006).…”

(ABBADE; LASTÓRIA, 2006 JULIÃO, 2006). Essa síndrome, que envolve a destruição de estruturas cutâneas, tais como epiderme e derme, podendo afetar, também, tecidos mais profundos, manifesta-se no terço inferior dos membros inferiores.…”
