COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SURGICAL TREATMENT OF NEUROTROPHIC FOOT ULCER BY LOCAL PLASTIC METHOD: CASE REPORT

Abstract

Among all types of trophic ulcers, the prevalence of neurogenic ones is relatively low, comprising only 1%, but despite its low occurrence rate, treating it remains a complex and unresolved problem of reconstructive plastic surgery. This paper analyzes a clinical case of a neurotrophic foot ulcer in a 25-yearold female patient. The patient underwent circular excision of the ulcer to healthy tissues and transfer of the flap to the defect site using a local plastic method in combination with ntravenous laser blood irradiation (ILBI), which ultimately allowed to avoid complications and relapses.
