Abstract

Pressure ulcers remain a common complication of spinal cord injury and they are associated with significant morbidity and costs. Maggot therapy can be used successfully to treat chronic, long-standing, infected wounds, which have previously failed to respond to conventional treatment. Maggot therapy consists of the application of sterile species of fly larvae (maggots) at the wound bed. This method has three core beneficial effects on a wound: debridement, disinfection and enhanced healing. In this case report, we aimed to present the dramatic healing with maggot therapy for a pressure ulcer resistant to conventional wound treatment in a patient with spinal cord injury.

Özet

Bası yaraları halen, spinal kord yaralanmasının yaygın görülen komplikasyonu olup, ciddi morbidite ve mali kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Maggot tedavisi, daha önce uygulanan konvansiyonel tedavilere yanıtın yetersiz kaldığı kronik, uzun süreli ve enfekte yaralarda başarıyla kullanılabilir. Maggot tedavisi steril sinek larvalarının (maggot) yara yatağına uygulanması işlemini içerir. Bu yöntemin yara üzerinde üç esas faydalı etkisi söz konusudur: debridman, dezenfeksiyon ve hızlı iyileşme. Bu olgu sunumumuzda, spinal kord yaralanmalı (SKY) bir hastada konvansiyonel yara tedavisi yöntemlerine dirençli bir bası yarasında, maggot tedavisi ile elde ettiğimiz dramatik iyileşmeyi sunmayı amaçladık.
