Several types of surgical debridement can be used in pediatric patients, including:
Sharp Debridement: This involves the use of scalpels, scissors, or other surgical instruments to remove dead tissue. It is precise but requires skilled practitioners. Laser Debridement: Laser technology can be used to precisely remove necrotic tissue with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Hydrosurgical Debridement: This method uses high-pressure water jets to remove dead tissue. It is less invasive and can be more comfortable for the patient.
