Have you heard that bedsore surgery is difficult due to the high risks of general anesthesia?
At AMUN Plastic Surgery, we perform flap surgery under local anesthesia without general anesthesia.
After surgery, patients are hospitalized for at least two weeks under direct care
from medical staff to maximize the success rate.
Can't it just be sutured?
Wouldn't it be great if bedsores could be easily resolved with simple sutures?
In most cases, simple suturing results in the wound reopening.
If you encounter medical staff suggesting simple sutures for bedsore treatment,
it’s essential to recheck their experience in bedsore management.
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery involves moving surrounding tissue to cover and close the bedsore wound.
This method can effectively eliminate the bedsore with a single procedure.
Strictly speaking, this is referred to as "local flap surgery."
For flap surgery to succeed, complete debridement of dead tissue must be performed beforehand.
At AMUN Plastic Surgery, methylene blue dye is meticulously applied to ensure precise debridement,
thereby maximizing the success rate of flap surgeries.
Essential Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, it's crucial to ensure that the surgical site is not compressed, following general care guidelines.
For bedsore surgery near the tailbone, patients are usually positioned face down or on their side.
One essential step post-surgery is often overlooked by many medical professionals:
Joint exercises for body parts unrelated to the surgical site.
This helps prevent joint stiffness.
At AMUN Plastic Surgery, we provide joint exercise education to prevent stiffness following flap surgery.
