Surgical debridement is a precise technique in which our surgeon removes necrotic or severely damaged tissue from a wound using specialized instruments. This method is often necessary when rapid removal of unhealthy tissue is required to prevent infection or further complications. In some cases, surgical debridement may be combined with skin grafting to cover large or deep areas where natural healing alone is insufficient. This approach prepares the wound for optimal recovery while addressing the most critical tissue concerns.
Autolytic debridement uses the body’s natural healing processes to break down and remove dead tissue. This method is gentle and often recommended for wounds that require careful management. Our foot specialist, Dr. Oganesyan, guides patients through this treatment, ensuring that the wound environment supports gradual, safe healing. By leveraging the body’s own enzymes and moisture, autolytic debridement encourages the natural removal of necrotic tissue without harming surrounding healthy skin.
Wound debridement treatment is considered for individuals whose wounds are not healing properly or are at risk of infection. Determining candidacy depends on the type, severity, and underlying causes of the wound. Candidates typically include:
The cost of wound debridement in South Florida typically ranges from $200 to $2,500, depending on the wound’s severity and complexity.

Factors such as the hospital or clinic where the procedure is performed, the wound location, and the type of debridement used all influence the final cost.
