Soft tissue damage in the form of difficult-to-heal wounds is a common complication of frostbite of the distal parts of the body. Changes in the tissues impair microcirculation and disrupt regenerative processes.
Skin grafting is a complex procedure, requiring an interdisciplinary approach – doctor, nurse, rehabilitator, psychologist and patient involvement. Knowledge of all aspects of the procedure, as well as the stages of patient preparation, is crucial to achieve satisfactory results. Autogenic grafts used in case of injuries promote the healing process
Wound treatment remains a significant challenge in modern medicine. Initiatives undertaken by the medical community, including the Wound Healing Society’s activities and specialist publications, attempt to optimise standards of care for patients with wounds. The current epidemiological situation in this patient group requires urgent systemic intervention.
