Abstract
- The sinus tract of the ischial tuberosity is often caused by pressure injury. It has the characteristics of difficult treatment and high cost, which increases the anxiety of patients and reduces the quality of life of patients. This case report is to describe an effective method to treat sinus wound at the ischial tuberosity. A 53-year-old male suffered pressure ulcer with sinus wound at the left ischial tuberosity due to inadequate walking and sedentary activity. On the basis of pressure relief and immobilization, the patient was treated with CO2 laser debridement and negative pressure wound therapy under endoscope support 3 times, the deep of the sinus wound was completely closed, and then the residual superficial wound was treated by skin grafting. Follow-up of 1 year after healing showed no recurrence of wound.
