The Combination Application of Space Filling and Closed Irrigation Suction in Reconstruction of Sacral Decubitus Ulcer

Abstract: Dead space and poor drainage are the main reasons for intractable sacral decubitus ulcers. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of treatment for sacral decubitus ulcer using space filling through muscle flap and closed irrigation. A total of 22 patients with serious sacral decubitus ulcer were treated with space filling through muscle flap and closed irrigation. After debridement of the decubitus ulcer, the infected areas over the bony prominence and osseous prominences were debrided. We … Show more

“…In the current study, closed suction irrigation of gentamicin was used to control the infection of BS patients by thoroughly cleaning the wound. The irrigation bag is placed about 1.5 meters above the bed surface to apply the siphon principle instead of negative pressure suction, which ensures that the irrigation solution containing antibiotics can remain in the wound for a period of time without being washed away quickly [42]. So as to maximize the use of drugs and saving medical resources.…”
