Treatment of Neurotrophic Ulcers at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Neurotrophic ulcers are chronic, non-healing wounds caused by impaired innervation and blood supply to tissues. They most commonly occur in patients with diabetes, nervous system disorders, or as a result of trauma or stroke.

The Helyos Center offers modern treatments for neurotrophic ulcers, promoting rapid healing and improving patients' quality of life.

Symptoms of Neurotrophic Ulcers

Reduced or absent sensitivity in the affected area
Discharge from the wound (purulent, serous)

Black or necrotic wound edges (a sign of tissue death)
