RECONSTRUCTIVE OPERATIONS FOR NEUROTROPHIC ULCERS IN SPINAL PATIENTS

Abstract

Contemporary literature places emphasis on the prevention of neurotrophic ulcers. This involves the development of risk scales and the establishment of regulations and guidelines for treatment. Nevertheless, the prevalence of neurotrophic ulcers among hospitalized patients remains substantial, ranging from 75% to 80%. Prolegies are difficult to treat and often worsen or reoccur, leading to major limitations and delays in rehabilitation efforts, prolonged hospital stays, and an increased risk of septic complications
