Wounds that have refused to heal for months, investigated for the reason and closed with the right combination of surgery and wound care.
Anyone with a wound open beyond four to six weeks, exposed bone, tendon or implant, or an ulcer that keeps returning.
The wound and the reason behind it are assessed together, circulation, pressure, infection, and a closure plan is written.
Daycare and theatre wound surgery, negative pressure therapy and flap reconstruction as the wound requires.
Wound surgery is generally payable under mediclaim.
Nothing here is improvised. The sequence below is how care in this specialty is actually organised, and your own written plan follows it.
A wound that will not heal has a reason, dead tissue, infection, pressure, poor blood supply, and it is identified first.
Debridement, infection control and negative pressure therapy prepare the wound for closure.
Grafts and flaps close what dressings cannot, including wounds with exposed bone, tendon or implant.
The underlying cause is managed so the wound does not return.
"A dressing cannot close a wound that has a reason to stay open. Find the reason."
Chronic wounds are a diagnosis problem before they are a dressing problem, and treatment starts with why the wound is open.
Exposed bone, tendon or metalwork changes the plan: those wounds need living cover, and they are the daily work of this unit.

Published bands are for Surat and include surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre and standard stay. Where a band is not published, a written estimate follows examination. Cover under mediclaim and schemes is confirmed before admission.
Ask for an estimate →These are the questions that come up in consultation most often. If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp and the team will reply, usually the same day.
Ask your question →Most wounds close within four to six weeks with proper care. A wound open longer than that has a reason, infection, pressure, dead tissue or poor circulation, and needs assessment rather than another dressing change.
A sealed dressing under controlled suction that removes fluid and stimulates healthy tissue. It prepares wounds for closure and manages difficult wounds, but it is a bridge to closure, not a destination.
Usually yes, with flap surgery that brings living, blood carrying tissue over the exposed structure. These wounds do not close with dressings alone.
Because the underlying cause, often pressure or circulation, was not corrected. Closing the wound and controlling its cause are treated as one plan.
Debridement, negative pressure therapy and reconstructive closure are generally payable under mediclaim, and cover is confirmed before planned procedures.
Blood flow studies, swabs or tissue culture, blood sugar and nutrition tests, and imaging for hidden infection or bone involvement are the usual starting points. A biopsy is taken when a wound has stayed open for a long time.
Yes, smoking reduces blood supply to healing tissue and is linked with wound breakdown and flap problems. Stopping before planned surgery, even for a short period, is strongly advised.
