Abstract
Many pressure ulcers in spinal cord injury patients tend to be severe and recur because the patients are wheelchair-bound and receive anesthesia. It is important to clarify individual factors of pressure ulcers, but there are few cases reported using our specific method. In our hospital, we questioned a patient regarding his living condition in great detail and extracted data on his condition from our database in order to guide him accordingly. This was an attempt for steady progression and to prevent the ulcers from recurring in the future. In some patients, pressure ulcers are cured without surgery for wound closure, but it requires a long time. We report that our approach to maintaining the living environment and advice on daily life activities were curative without surgery.
