Effective management of a complex pressure injury requires more than standard wound care. It involves timely clinical intervention, surgical decision-making, and the integration of advanced therapeutic options to support optimal healing.
This episode is part of Season Five of The Pressure Effect, a series dedicated to pressure injury closure utilizing cellular and tissue-based products. In this discussion, host Dr. Lee Ruotsi is joined by Dr. Eric Yang, MD, FACS, CWS—Medical Director of the University of Chicago Medicine Advent Health Wound Care Center in La Grange. Dr. Yang presents a detailed case study involving a young paraplegic patient with a significant sacral pressure injury. He outlines his clinical approach, beginning with surgical debridement and extending through the use of negative pressure wound therapy and cellular tissue products.
The episode highlights important considerations in both inpatient and outpatient care and underscores strategies to avoid flap surgery while achieving durable closure.
