Potential risks associated with surgical intervention
When contemplating surgical treatment for Non-Healing Wounds, it is crucial to be aware of potential risks. These include:
- Postoperative infections: The recovery period is critical in this treatment. Being non-compliant with wound care instructions and medical advice could result in infections.
- Scar contractures: The formation of tight, constricting scars that can limit mobility and cause discomfort.
- Hematoma/Seromas: Sometimes treatment will include postoperative drains to prevent the formation of hematoma or seroma, but they are still a possibility with surgical wounds.
Our approach to patient care is highly individualized. We conduct thorough consultations with each patient to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
