Abstract:
The whole context of the treatment must be taken into account. The aim is to treat the patient and avoid a recurrence. Not all pressure ulcers are suitable for surgery and patients must be rigorously assessed, which requires a coherent approach by all the medical and allied health care teams in order to harmonise practices. This coordination must lead to the acceptance of the surgical procedure and the implementation of a care approach which will ensure its success both with regard to the preoperative preparation and the immediate post-operative period as well as the long-term.
