title: [Debridement, a strategic choice].
abstract: While debridement can be a natural phenomenon, it is not always sufficient for treating all of the wound's necrotic tissue and requires the intervention of the caregivers. It is up to the caregivers to choose, after a full analysis of the patient's condition, between surgical debridement and a gentler, mechanical debridement.
