Drugs, preparations, procedures: methods of treatment of trophic ulcers

For the treatment of trophic ulcers, both conservative and operational methods are used. First of all, the main disease that causes a complication in the form of a trophic ulcer is treated - venous insufficiency, arterial diseases, diabetes mellitus, etc. are treated.

With trophic ulcers, both general and local treatment is used.

The local treatment of poses several key tasks for the surgeon - actions aimed at eliminating the infection, cleansing of necrotic ulcer masses and the process of closing the defect.

The elimination of infection is achieved through dressings that are manufactured every day. When dressing, the treatment of the skin surfaces near the ulcer tincture of alcoholic iodine or alcohol, and directly the surface of the ulcer is treated with hydrogen peroxide( 3% solution).The dressings are applied with an antiseptic solution( Furacilin, Chlorhexidine, 3% boric acid).

For , sores from necrotic masses, in addition to antiseptics, also use a proteolytic enzyme - Iruksol ointment and necroectomy. It is allowed to use( local) sorbents. Additional procedures that have a positive effect are quartz, magnetotherapy, modulated sinusoidal currents, enzyme electrophoresis and other methods of physiotherapy.

Once the surface of the ulcer has been cleared and the pathogenic microflora has been eliminated, proceed with the process of closing the wound. If the ulcers are small, they are cleaned and closed independently( increased growth of granulations, the emergence of epithelialization at the edges).In these cases, daily dressings must be continued, applying antiseptic dressings wet-drying type. If the defect is superficial and up to one centimeter in diameter, then it can be processed with potassium permanganate( 5% solution) or a brilliant green 1% solution, due to which a scab is formed, and under it epithelization begins. Ointment "Iruksol" also contributes to epithelization.

Surgical treatment of trophic ulcers is more effective, since during the operation the cause that caused the trophic ulcer is usually eliminated. In case of venous insufficiency, the expanded impassable areas of the veins are removed, if there is obstruction of the arteries, bypass surgery is performed( creating new messages between the vessels), etc.

So this father: came, he had a terribly neglected varicose veins, a huge trophic ulcer on the lower leg, which flowed and unpleasantly smelled.

Father came not alone, came with his some kind of a woman - I do not know what is called - a servant, but not his wife for sure. Father came, sat down, unwound the bandage. Hence, under a bandage of huge sizes smelly, fetid such trophic ulcer which flows all pus. He discovered - such a smell unpleasant, flies began to fly, so to speak, around. After that I took, untied this bandage, washed it, looked.

Given that he has a very plentiful discharge( from the ulcer a lot separates the purulent), we need to come up with something like this, some kind of bandage: cheap, because the priest does not have the money, and at the same time absorbs so that she absorbswell it is wound detachable so that it does not flow, and again there the infection does not sit down.

It rings me and tells me with a heart-rending voice that my father is dying. These notes in my voice unequivocally give me to understand that, as a matter of fact, the priest is dying, and in this death it is this woman's gasket that I put in blame. And I thought: "Perhaps, it is not possible to apply such a thing unambiguously to the foot of the priest as a woman's pad? Perhaps, it can not be done in any church canons unknown to me at all? And I did, and now my father is dying because of this. "

In general, there is nowhere to go, gathered, went to the father( the blessing that this church was not far from my house, strictly speaking).This woman opened the door to me, I unwound my leg, looked - and almost died. ..
