Wound Ulcer Healing
Learn More About Wound Ulcer healing
A wound or ulcer is a breach in the continuity of the skin or mucous membrane. Wounds present a significant challenge for patients worldwide and are divided into acute and chronic categories based on their duration. Acute wounds last less than four weeks, while chronic or hard-to-heal wounds persist for more than four weeks. The rise in obesity and diabetes has exacerbated the prevalence of wounds and ulcers, posing a vast challenge to healthcare systems.
Understanding who may require wound healing treatments is crucial. Candidates for wound healing include individuals with:
- Arterial or Ischemic Wounds
- Venous Stasis Ulcers or Varicose Wounds
- Pressure Ulcers or Bed Sores
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers or Diabetic Wounds
- Traumatic Wounds
- Surgical Wounds
- Post-Burn Wounds
- Vasculitic Ulcers
Various symptoms and problems arise from wounds or ulcers, necessitating different healing techniques. Common symptoms include:
- Ulceration
- Pain
- Itching
- Swelling and redness in the surrounding area
- Pus or serous discharge
- Exposed muscle or bone
- Bleeding
- Foul-smelling necrotic slough
- Low self-esteem
- Rarely, cancer development
Diagnostic Tests and Investigations:
- Blood Tests: WBC count, Blood Sugar, HbA1C, Serum Creatinine
- Doppler Examination: For venous and arterial ulcers
- Culture and Sensitivity Tests: To identify microorganisms and effective antibiotics
- MRI Scans: For severe pain or edema to assess underlying bone and muscle pathology
Medical Management:
Wound management includes cleaning the wound with solutions like H2O2, Eusol, or saline, followed by the application of antiseptic solutions or ointments. Dressings such as paraffin gauze, simple gauze, or gamgee roll are used to cover the wound. Patients are advised to change the dressing every alternate day. Medications related to associated diseases like diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid dysfunction are also prescribed.
Latest Medical Treatments:
- RecoSMA (Erbium YAG) Laser Therapy: It is the most advanced laser treatment for wound healing, the CE certified technology from Europe and available at Elrevo Clinic since April 2017.
- Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT or VAC): Enhances wound healing by removing infection and debris, increasing vascularity through neovascularization, and promoting granulation tissue formation.
- Dermal Matrix Applications: Artificial dermis from animal or plant sources covers the wound, integrating with granulation tissue to form a scaffold for healing.
- Advanced Dressings: Use of films, hydrogels, hydrocolloids, alginates, silver dressings, and foam dressings.
- Ointments and Topical Agents: For chemical debridement, growth factors, and antimicrobial effects (e.g., silver, cadexomer).
- Oxygen Therapy: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers oxygen to enhance healing.
- Electrical Current Modulation: Electrical stimulation promotes healing.
- Electronic Stimulation Bandages: Advanced bandages that stimulate healing.
Surgical Management:
Surgical intervention is necessary for delayed healing, initial wound cleaning, or when vital structures are exposed. Common surgical procedures include:
- Debridement: Removal of contaminated, dead, or infected tissue.
- Reconstructive Plastic Surgery:
- Skin Grafting: Thin skin grafts harvested from the thigh to cover the wound or ulcer.
- Skin Flaps: Thick skin along with fat and sometimes muscle used to cover the wound. Can be pedicled or free tissue transfer.
- Replantation and Revascularization: Microsurgery techniques to reattach amputated limbs or parts, restoring function and covering the amputation stump.
Recovery from wound healing treatments depends on the type and severity of the wound, as well as the chosen treatment method. Proper aftercare, including regular dressing changes, adherence to medication regimens, and following medical advice, is essential for optimal healing.

My personnel experience at Elrevo Hospital was good. Their service was best, starting from reception to the surgery. Their staff is also good, having co-operative and friendly behavior.
