Leg ulcers are a chronic and disabling condition that is difficult, time-consuming and costly to treat. We report a study evaluating the efficacy of trichloroacetic acid in the treatment of venous leg ulcers.
We treated 19 patients with leg ulcers with 50% trichloroacetic acid with one application per week for 6 weeks. The primary evaluation criteria was healing, assessed by measuring the surface area of the ulcer before and after treatment.
We included 13 men and 6 women, with venous leg ulcers, with an average age of 57 years. The mean ulcer duration was 2.9 years. Complete healing was achieved in 2 patients, good healing in 9 patients, moderate healing in 6 patients, and poor healing in 2 patients.
Our study supports the data in the literature from two published series, and suggests that 50% trichloroacetic acid would be a good therapeutic alternative with satisfactory wound healing, low cost, and absence of adverse effects.
腿部溃疡是一种慢性且使人丧失能力的疾病,治疗起来既困难又耗时,而且费用高昂。我们报告了一项评估三氯乙酸治疗静脉性腿部溃疡疗效的研究。
我们使用 50%的三氯乙酸为 19 例腿部溃疡患者进行每周一次的治疗,共进行 6 周。主要评估标准为愈合情况,通过测量治疗前后溃疡的表面积来评估。
我们纳入了 13 名男性和 6 名女性患者,他们均患有静脉性腿部溃疡,平均年龄为 57 岁。溃疡平均持续时间为 2.9 年。2 例患者完全愈合,9 例患者愈合良好,6 例患者愈合中等,2 例患者愈合较差。
我们的研究支持了两篇已发表系列研究中的文献数据,表明 50%的三氯乙酸可能是一种很好的治疗选择,具有令人满意的伤口愈合效果、较低的成本,且无不良反应。
