In Patients with Diabetic Feet, Flap Monitoring in Conjunction with Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Author(s): Debbie Wong*
For patients with diabetic foot ulcers, many types of flaps are taken into consideration as reconstructive solutions. However, due to the relatively
low levels of collateral circulation in the distal lower extremities, flap reconstruction for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers is particularly difficult.
In order to treat diabetic foot, this study assessed the effectiveness and safety of a novel postoperative monitoring technique used in conjunction
with negative pressure wound care right after flap procedures. Patients with diabetic feet who underwent free flap and perforator flap procedures
between March 2019 and August 2021 were the subject of a retrospective investigation. The rates of complications and survival following surgery
were the outcomes of interest.
Patients underwent computed CT angiography on the third postoperative day to look for pedic.. Read More»
