Read ArticleUlcer Surgery
Chronic leg and foot ulcers—whether venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, or diabetic wounds—require specialized wound care. Non-healing ulcers often have a bacterial biofilm that prevents healing, necessitating surgical debridement and advanced wound coverage.
Wound Debridement and Skin Grafting
Dr. Qasim Khan provides surgical wound debridement and skin grafting for chronic ulcers. The procedure involves cleaning the wound bed, scraping away dead tissue, and placing a thin layer of healthy skin (skin graft) to promote closure.
Ulcer Care Milestones
- Biofilm Debridement: Removing non-viable tissue to prepare the ulcer bed for healing.
- Skin Grafting (STSG): Harvesting and placing thin skin sheets to cover and close the wound.
- Underlying Etiology Correction: Managing venous pressure or blood flow to prevent the ulcer from returning.
Treatment Highlights
- Procedure planning after detailed clinical evaluation and imaging review.
- Focused operative pathway with infection-control and safety-first protocols.
- Post-procedure guidance designed for smoother recovery and follow-up care.

Frequently Asked QuestionsCommon Questions About Ulcer Surgery
Find quick answers regarding preparations, clinical procedure details, safety guidelines, and recovery milestones for Ulcer Surgery with Dr. Qasim Khan.
What is a skin graft?
A skin graft is a surgical procedure where a thin layer of healthy skin is harvested from one part of the body (usually the thigh) and placed over a clean, non-healing ulcer to cover and heal it.
Why won't my leg ulcer heal without surgery?
Chronic ulcers develop a tough layer of dead tissue and bacteria (biofilm) that blocks healing. Surgical cleaning is needed to remove this barrier and stimulate new tissue growth.
What is a venous ulcer?
A venous ulcer is a wound on the lower leg caused by poor venous circulation, leading to high pressure in the leg veins, skin changes, and ulceration.
Is skin grafting painful?
The graft is harvested under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the surgery. The donor site (where the skin was taken) behaves like a scrape and causes mild discomfort for a few days.
How long does it take for a skin graft to take or heal?
A skin graft usually takes or adheres to the wound bed in 5 to 7 days. Complete healing of both the graft and the donor site takes about 2 to 3 weeks.
