    Area of Science:

    • Wound healing and tissue repair
    • Geriatric medicine
    • Rehabilitation medicine

    Background:

    • Pressure sores are a prevalent clinical issue, often accepted due to standardized treatment approaches.
    • Existing knowledge regarding the etiology and management of pressure sores warrants re-evaluation.
    • Despite common acceptance, the pathophysiology of pressure sores remains incompletely understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current evidence on minimizing pressure sores.
    • To critically examine the established etiological factors of pressure sores.
    • To explore recent advancements in the management and surgical treatment of pressure sores.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent literature and clinical observations on pressure sore prevention and treatment.

  • Analysis of multidisciplinary approaches in tissue trauma clinics for paraplegic patients.
  • Evaluation of new surgical techniques, including myocutaneous and sensory skin flaps.

    • Main Results:

    • New preventive measures, such as specialized clinics and early identification of at-risk geriatric patients, show promise in minimizing pressure sores.
    • The widely accepted hypothesis that pressure is the sole etiological factor lacks robust experimental support and is contradicted by some research.
    • Novel surgical procedures are being developed to address complex coverage issues and potentially reduce recurrence rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Pressure sore prevention and management are undergoing significant changes, moving beyond traditional approaches.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the complex pathophysiology of pressure sores.
    • Innovative treatments and preventive strategies offer hope for reducing the incidence and recurrence of pressure sores.
