How Debridement + Sequestrectomy ± Antibiotic Cement Spacer is performed
The core of this procedure is to remove infected and necrotic tissue. If applicable, antibiotic-loaded bone cement spacers can be placed to fill dead space and release drugs locally. Usually, under imaging and guidance, sinus tracts and sequestrum are cleaned, samples are taken for culture and drug sensitivity testing, and thoroughly rinsed. Bone stabilization and soft tissue repair are combined if necessary, and drainage is left in place. Postoperative monitoring of infection indicators and wound conditions, and adjustment of antibacterial regimen according to culture results, the goal is to control infection and maintain mechanical stability. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
