review of pressure sore treated surgically at a plastic surgery unit

ABSTRACT

Management of pressure sores has always been a problem across the world but especially in our country due to lack of supporting measures. This study looked at the repair of 34 pressure sores over a period of two years at Plastic Surgery Department in Services Hospital and their outcome. A new reusable flap for reconstruction was found to be effective but rehabilitation program was found to be the ultimate decider of the long-term outcome of these pressure sores
