Abstract

The management of sacral wounds is often complicated by patient comorbidities and anatomical factors. This retrospective case series describes the management of 5 complex sacral wounds in which UBM devices were applied to facilitate wound closure. The wounds in this series were exacerbated by comorbidities and challenging wound presentations including tunneling and exposed bone. In this series, application of UBM particulate and sheets supported progressive wound closure, marked by neo-tissue formation and depth reduction with closure of tunneling in all cases. Results from this series underscore the utility of UBM devices in the management of sacral wounds and especially those further hindered by extensive tunneling.

膀胱基质装置支持闭合复杂的骶骨伤口。

骶骨伤口的处理通常因患者合并症和解剖因素而变得复杂。本回顾性病例系列描述了5个复杂骶骨伤口的处理，其中应用UBM装置促进伤口闭合。该系列中的伤口因合并症和具有挑战性的伤口表现而加剧，包括隧道和暴露的骨骼。在该系列中，UBM颗粒和片材的应用支持渐进式伤口闭合，在所有情况下都以新组织形成和隧道闭合深度减少为标志。该系列的研究结果强调了UBM装置在骶骨伤口管理中的实用性，尤其是那些因广泛隧道掘进而进一步受阻的伤口。

期刊介绍： Wounds is the most widely read, peer-reviewed journal focusing on wound care and wound research. The information disseminated to our readers includes valuable research and commentaries on tissue repair and regeneration, biology and biochemistry of wound healing, and clinical management of various wound etiologies. Our multidisciplinary readership consists of dermatologists, general surgeons, plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons, internal medicine/family practitioners, podiatrists, gerontologists, researchers in industry or academia (PhDs), orthopedic surgeons, infectious disease physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. These practitioners must be well equipped to deal with a myriad of chronic wound conditions affecting their patients including vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, dermatological disorders, and more. Whether dealing with a traumatic wound, a surgical or non-skin wound, a burn injury, or a diabetic foot ulcer, wound care professionals turn to Wounds for the latest in research and practice in this ever-growing field of medicine.
