Abstract: The objective of this study is to focus in discussing the surgical treatment of pressure ulcer, and also to overview the pathophysiology, causes and risk factors of PU. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL and Cochrane databases for relevant English language studies with human subjects, published up to the end of 2016, identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), reviews and meta-analysis studies. Current search was performed using the terms; pressure ulcer, pressure sore, decubitus, bedsore, surgical treatment. Bibliographies of identified articles were further reviewed for more relevant articles to be included in this review. The pressure ulcer patient’s way through the system depends on the local organization. In general, pressure ulcer patients are treated in your area. Debridement can be carried out by the local cosmetic surgeons. Comprehensive debridement needs to be performed in the operating room, however minor debridement is commonly performed at the bedside. Although much of these patients are insensate, others are unable to communicate pain sensation. Pain medication must be administered freely, and crucial signs might show pain understanding. It is crucial to cover the flaws with a thick flap to provide more support and protection to the locations which go through pressure and to lower the incidence of reoccurrences.
Keywords: Ulcers, RCTs.
