About Sergio Mazzei
I am a General Surgeon based in Dubai since 2016, with a particular focus on wound care and the treatment of non-healing wounds. My work emphasizes the use of dermal substitutes and advanced tissue engineering, always guided by a patient-centred approach and strong collaboration within multidisciplinary teams.
Wound Care
Wound care refers to specific types of treatment for soft tissue damage or open ulcers due to post-surgical complications, burns, trauma, skin and soft tissue infections, pressure injuries and diabetic foot ulcers
Specialties
Diabetic foot ulcer
A diabetic foot ulcer is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus.
Two to ten percent of diabetic people have foot ulcers.
Leg ulcers
Leg ulcers are open wounds on the legs. Some causes of leg ulcers are venous insufficiency, low arterial blood flow, and diabetes.
Ingrown nail
An ingrown nail is one of the most common nail diseases in which the corner of the nail curves down into the skin.
Skin Neoplasm
A Skin Neoplasm is an unusual growth of cells on your skin. There are two types of Neoplasms, namely benign and malignant.
Skin and soft-tissue infections
Skin and soft–tissue infections (SSTIs) are infections that can involve the skin and the subcutaneous tissue until the fascia or muscle, with different clinical presentations.
Pressure Ulcer – Bed Sores
Pressure ulcers are localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue that usually occur over a bony prominence as a result of long-term pressure.
Chronic (Non-healing) wound
Chronic (Non-healing) wound is a lesion that doesn’t heal in a specific time, between 4 weeks to 3 months, having a delay in the wound healing.
Post-surgical infected wound
A post-surgical infected wound is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. It can happen in up to 3% of patients.
Wart
A wart is a small growth on the skin due to virus infection like Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
Burn
A burn is a type of injury to the skin caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation.
Pilonidal disease

Pressure injury. How to prevent and what use
The most vulnerable areas include bony prominences such as the heels, sacrum, and elbows. The fundamental aspect of preventing pressure injuries lies in frequent repositioning and movement to alleviate prolonged pressure on specific areas of the body.
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy on DFUs
This condition results from prolonged hyperglycemia, leading to nerve damage that impairs sensation, autonomic function, and motor control in the lower extremities. focusing on early detection, comprehensive foot care, and advanced wound management strategies, healthcare providers can improve the quality of life for diabetic patients and reduce the burden of lower extremity complications.
Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The presence of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa in wounds can severely delay healing, increase morbidity, and limit treatment options, making effective management strategies critical in clinical settings. The burden of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa in wound care underscores the need for a multifaceted approach that combines effective antimicrobial strategies, rigorous infection control measures, and ongoing research into alternative therapies
