Objective. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of PUs, the distribution of PUs, common injuries contributing to the occurrence of PUs in patients admitted to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Kosovo for surgical interventions of PUs, localization of PUs in body, the topical treatment of pressure ulcers before surgical intervention, the methods of surgical interventions, number of surgical interventions, duration of treatment, complications, and mortality. Materials and Methods. This study includes 55 patients with PUs treated surgically in 2000–2010 period in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Kosovo. The data were collected and analyzed from the archives and protocols of the University Clinical Center of Kosovo. Data processing was done with the statistical package In Stat 3. From statistical parameters arithmetic median and standard deviation were calculated. Data testing is done with χ2-test and the difference is significant if P<0.05. Conclusion. Despite preventive measures against PUs, the incidence of Pus remains high.


Legend of plastic surgery, the great founder has gone. José Guerrerosantos, M.D. (Fig 1), was not only a Director and Plastic Surgeon in Charge, The Jalisco Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Institute; Professor and Chairman of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Guadalajara Medical College, Guadalajara, Mexico. He was a founding father of the Instituto Jalisciense de Cirugia Reconstructiva (The Jalisco Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Institute), a hospital affiliated with the University of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico [1]. One of his scientific “children” – Manual of Aesthetic Surgery (editors: Fisher JC, Guerrerosantos J, Gleason M) (Fig 2) is a state of art textbook [2], an immortal masterpiece, which continues to navigate next generations of plastic surgeons in the extremely responsible field of surgery. The sacred Manual, which is a testament for surgeons of different subspecialties. Also, contribution of Professor José Guerrerosantos to the flap of tongue is really helped to lift a flap surgery to the new heights. Professor Guerrerosantos was born as a son of Mexico and will continue to live in his creations, our minds, and the works of his disciples. And it`s very symbolic, that his students and disciples named and still names him the same name as a Jesus was called… “a Teacher”…
