Chronic ulcers are wounds that fail to heal naturally within 3 months. They include venous ulcers (from poor vein function), arterial ulcers (from inadequate blood supply), pressure ulcers (bedsores), and neuropathic ulcers (from nerve damage). At Kakkar Clinic, we use a comprehensive reconstructive approach that addresses the underlying cause while promoting optimal wound healing through surgical and advanced medical techniques.
Thorough evaluation of wound depth, size, infection status, blood supply, and underlying cause. Necessary investigations including cultures, Doppler, and imaging are performed.
Surgical debridement to remove necrotic and infected tissue. Infection is controlled with targeted antibiotics. Wound bed is prepared for optimal healing conditions.
Depending on the wound, skin grafts, local flaps, or pedicled/free flaps may be used to cover the defect. VAC therapy may be used to encourage granulation tissue formation.
Regular monitoring of graft or flap viability, dressing changes, and patient education on wound care and prevention. Compression therapy for venous ulcers is maintained.
Don't let chronic wounds worsen. Consult with Dr. Vikas Kakkar for advanced ulcer treatment.
