ABSTRACT
With aging populations and the increased incidence of cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, and other diseases, more and more patients suffer from pressure injuries. Pressure injuries are often difficult to heal because of the presence of sinus tracts, which make it difficult to clean and change dressings. Sinus wounds are common in patients with pressure injuries, but also occur after abdominal wall incision and in patients who have experienced a physical trauma that created a wound. It is difficult for clinicians to observe, evaluate, and repair sinus wounds because of the small surface defect and large and deep basement of each wound. This article reviews existing assessment methods and treatments for sinus wounds and proposes a new evaluation method and treatment (three-dimensional reconstruction and endoscopic techniques) to further improve treatment and provide better quality of care for patients with this type of wound.
