Chronic Wounds, Old Scars, Surgical Scars, Diabetic Wounds, and Lymphedema Surgery

Surgical interventions for chronic wounds, old scars, surgical scars, diabetic wounds, and lymphedema accelerate the healing process, prevent complications, and address patients' cosmetic concerns.

Chronic Wounds

Chronic wounds are wounds that don't heal for extended periods and typically occur due to an underlying health condition. If left untreated, they carry a high risk of infection and other complications.

Surgical Treatment:
  • Debridement: Surgical removal of dead tissue from the wounded area. This procedure is performed to accelerate wound healing and prevent infection.
  • Skin Graft: Transfer of healthy skin tissue from one area to the wounded area. This method enables closure of large and deep wounds.

Old Scars and Surgical Scars

Old scars and surgical scars can lead to aesthetic and functional problems. These scars typically form as a result of trauma, surgical interventions, or skin conditions.

Surgical Treatment:
  • Z-Plasty: A surgical technique performed to change the direction of the scar and make it less noticeable. This method improves the appearance of scars by reducing skin tension.
  • Laser Treatment: Laser beams are used to reduce the appearance of scars. This method improves the color and texture of scars by renewing the upper layers of skin.

Diabetic Wounds

Diabetic wounds are chronic wounds commonly seen in diabetes patients, typically occurring on the feet. These wounds experience difficulty healing due to high blood sugar levels.

Surgical Treatment:
  • Debridement: Surgical removal of dead tissue is also an important step in treating diabetic wounds. This procedure prevents wound infection and accelerates healing.
  • Wound Care and Regenerative Surgery: Treatment of diabetic wounds with special wound care products and regenerative surgical methods. These methods support skin and tissue healing.

Lymphedema Surgery

Lymphedema is a condition caused by accumulation of lymph fluid, typically presenting with swelling in the arms or legs. It's commonly seen after cancer treatment and negatively impacts quality of life.

Surgical Treatment:
  • Lymphovenous Anastomosis (LVA): New connections are created between lymph channels and the venous system to ensure lymph fluid drainage. This method improves lymph fluid circulation and reduces swelling.
  • Vascular Lymph Node Transfer (VLNT): Transfer of healthy lymph nodes from another part of the body to the lymphedema area. This surgical intervention ensures proper circulation of lymph fluid and reduces swelling.
  • Adipose Tissue Implantation: Fat tissue transfer is performed to improve lymph fluid drainage and enhance skin and soft tissue health in the lymphedema area. This procedure supports the lymphatic system and increases tissue elasticity.
