| Summary: | Diabetes mellitus (DM) disturbs the maturation process of the granulation tissue of the wound and promotes the
development of its pathological changes (atrophy, hypertrophy, scarring). Histological signs of proliferation disorders
determine the need for an additional surgical wound treatment in patients with DM at the stage of preparation of a
chronic wound (CW) for autodermoplasty (ADP).
Aim. To determine the most optimal method of surgical treatment of pathologically changed granulations in
patients with CW and DM in preparation for ADP.
Material and methods. The results of the complex treatment of CW for 94 patients, including 73 patients with
DM, were studied. Several methods were used to prepare local wounds for ADP: excision of granulations using a
necrotome knife, hardware treatment (double wound bed treatment with low-frequency ultrasound using controlled
negative pressure between operations of the session) and a combination of these techniques (excision of granulations
was performed during the first ultrasound session).
Results. The smallest number of skin graft failure cases was obtained when using a combined method of chronic
wound bed preparation with surgical excision of pathologically altered granulations.
Conclusion. A combination of surgical excision of pathologically altered granulations and hardware treatment is
the most effective way chronic wound bed preparation for skin grafting in patients with DM. |
