Abscess Debridement in Turkey
Abscess Debridement is a procedure in which the doctor treats an abscess (collection of pus in body tissue). Debridement can be performed in a variety of manners such as chemically, surgically, and mechanically. In chemical debridement, the doctor will use chemical compounds to break down the tissue. In surgical debridement, the doctor will use a sharp instrument to make incisions, remove tissue, and drain the abscess.
There are different types of debridement. The treatment plan will often include more than one step. Methods may be surgical or non-surgical.
In surgery, tools will be used to cut away areas of dead tissue. It may be used on large, deep, or painful wounds. Some wounds may need help to close after tissue is removed. An area of skin will be removed from another area of the body and placed on the wound. It can help the wound heal closed.
Non-surgical methods will use medicine or water to remove dead tissue. Medical whirlpool or syringes may be used to brush away dead skin. Wet to dry dressing is another option. A wet dressing is packed in the wound and left until it is dry. When the dry dressing is pulled away it will take dead tissue with it.
Debridement may be done to:
Remove infected areas or dead cells, or clean away crust, dirt or debris.
Create a neat wound edge to decrease scarring.
Help very severe burns or pressure sores heal.
Get a sample of tissue for testing.
