Background: Split skin grafting (SSG) is a commonly used reconstructive technique for wound cover. Donor site wounds (DSW) after split-skin graft harvesting are rather clean wounds. Depending on the thickness of the SSG, the DSW should re-epithelialize completely in 7 to 21 days. This study was initiated with a background to look for an ideal dressing for the management of DSW. Aim of the study was to compare efficacy of Cellulose acetate mesh, Collagen sheet, Hydrocolloid dressings and chlorhexidine tulle for donor site wound management after harvesting split thickness skin graft.Methods: 100 patients with 100 donor site wounds were included in the study. Patients were randomized into four different groups of 25 each, depending upon the type of dressings used to cover the wound. Data regarding time to complete wound healing and pain at the donor site were recorded on visual analogue scale (VAS). Requirement of pain killers during post-operative period were recorded. Complications like infection or hyper-granulation were also recorded.Results: The study included 72 males and 28 females. The primary objective was to observe the effectiveness of wound dressings in the treatment of DSWs and time to complete wound healing. In this context, collagen dressing was found to be the most effective in current study (p<0.07) and also the least pain was experienced by the patients where collagen dressings were used.Conclusions: The study concluded that collagen dressings was best amongst the various dressings studied with average healing time of 9 days with least pain score over DSW.

Background: Split skin grafting is widely used surgical procedure for the treatment of ulcers. Graft survival depends on number of factors like vascularity, wound infection etc, diabetes is associated with endothelial dysfunction, neuropathy, wound infection which collectively affect the graft survival. Objective of this study was to compare the amount of graft uptake, the post-operative complications and survival of split thickness skin graft in diabetic and non-diabetic ulcer.Methods: In our prospective comparative study total 112 patients with ulcer were included of which 56 were diabetic and 56 were non-diabetic. All of t7hem underwent split skin grafting as part of their wound management. Comparison was made between two groups in terms of amount of graft uptake, post-operative wound infection, revisional surgery, donor site infection.Results: Compared with non-diabetics, diabetics have significantly less graft uptake (p<0.001). out of 56 patients in diabetic group 4 (66.7%) underwent revisional surgery, out of 56 patients in non-diabetic group 2 (33.3) patients underwent revisional surgery (p value is <0.68) which is statistically insignificant. 3 (60%) out of 56 in diabetic group developed post-operative graft infection, 2 (40%) out of 56 in non-diabetic group developed graft infection (p=1, not significant). One patient in the study developed donor site infection. Among 112 cases, only 1 case had donor site infection with diabetic.Conclusions: Diabetes is associated with poor graft uptake and post-operative complication rates in patients undergoing split skin grafting.

Objective. Development of a new method for preparing an skin graft to hypoxia conditions in a recipient wound by tissue stretching of the donor site.Materials and methods. Scientific hypothesis: dosed tissue stretching and localized circulatory compensated hypoxia resulting in this increase the concentration of cytokine HIF-1α in the area of distracted skin graft. The experiment was performed on 18 white outbred male rats. The level of local circulatory compensated hypoxia was monitored by using laser Doppler flowmetry. An enzyme immunoassay was used to determine the concentration of cytokine HIF-1α in tissue. In the clinical stage of the study, the results of treatment in 9 patients – main group (split-skin grafting developed by the original method) were compared with the results of treatment in 10 patients – control group, who underwent plastic closure according to the traditional method.Results.The experiment revealed a statistically significant difference between the concentration of cytokine HIF-1α in the intact and disractablegraft, which was confirmed by the results of a clinical study.In the group where split-skin grafting was performed according to the traditional method (control group), the graft engraftment area was (Me [Q1; Q3]) 71.0 [65; 78] %, in the main group – (Me [Q1; Q3]) 87.0 [79; 95] % (p = 0.0003).Conclusion. It is advisable to use a compensated reduction of microcirculation in a tissue subjected to dosed tissue stretching to train split-skin graft for hypoxia conditions.

Abstract Split-thickness skin grafting remains a fundamental treatment for patients with deep burns and other traumatic injuries. Unfortunately, the donor site wound that remains after split skin graft (SSG) harvesting may also cause problems for the patient; they can lead to discomfort and scars with a poor cosmetic outcome. Regrafting of the donor site is one of the methods described to improve donor site healing and scarring. In this report, we describe a case of a 26-year-old woman with a self-inflicted chemical burn (0.5% TBSA) who underwent split skin grafting. During surgery, only part of the donor site was regrafted with split skin graft remnants. This part healed faster and had a better scar quality at 3 months postsurgery. Nevertheless, the appearance and patients’ opinion on the regrafted part deteriorated after 12 months. With this case report, we aim to create awareness of the long-term consequences of regrafting, which may differ from short-time results. Patients expected to have poor reepithelialization potential may benefit from regrafting of the SSG on the donor site. But in healthy young individuals, timewise there would be no benefit since it can lead to an aesthetically displeasing result.

Burn Contractures

Background: Post burn contracture is one of the most common problems in our country and usually seen in lower socio-economic people. Burn contractures of the neck can produce a signicant impact on quality of life by reducing a patient's ability to perform activities of daily living Methods: A prospective study was conducted with a sample size of 30 patients with post burn neck contracture conducted for a duration of 24 months. After meticulous surgical planning, patients underwent contracture release and split skin grafting/z-plasty followed by rigorous splintage and physiotherapy. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 11-30 years (63%).70% of the Results: patients sustained burns in the range of 21-40% and 80% were due to ame burns.46.66% (14) of patients had severe contracture while 13.33% (4) had extensive mento-sternal adhesions. 90% of the patients underwent release + SSG while 10% underwent z-plasty. Postoperatively cervico-mental angle of 100-120 degrees was achieved Skin grafting is a simple, reliable and safe operation however postoperative splinting is n Conclusion: ecessary. The use of skin grafts continues to deliver excellent results with adequate restoration of cervico-mental angle.
