Use of Deep-frozen Human Cornea in Full-thickness Grafts

Use of Deep-frozen Human Cornea in Full-thickness Grafts.

Extended Use of Full-Thickness Skin Grafts, Employing Variable Donor Sites

BACKGROUND Full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) is a very versatile tool regularly used in small sizes. With the established knowledge of the graft take through the margins as well as wound bed, we extended the use of the FTSG for reconstruction of large-sized defects with satisfactory results.  METHODS We presented our experience in wound reconstruction using FTSG in 28 patients. We select...

Does Orientation of Full-Thickness Groin Grafts Affect Hyperpigmentation in Burn Contracture and Syndactyly Hands?

BACKGROUND Some grafts harvested from the groin area do not become hyperpigmented and in an individual with multiple pieces of grafts, the hyperpigmentation of the pieces may vary. This study evaluates the orientation of the inset of groin grafts according to their donor sites (superior-inferior) and its role in graft hyperpigmentation. METHODS Patients with hand burn contracture or syndacty...

effects of recombinant human erythropoietin on revascularization of full thickness skin grafts in rat

background: autologous skin graft is frequently used in the field of plastic, and reconstructive surgery. the engraftment is dependent upon revascularization and angiogenesis, which can be regulated by different factors. in addition to its hematopoietic effects, erythropoietin is shown to positively affect the wound healing process. objectives: we studied effects of human erythropoietin on reva...

Full thickness skin grafts in periocular reconstructions: long-term outcomes.

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcomes of eyelid reconstruction in patients who underwent full thickness skin grafts. METHODS A retrospective, noncomparative intervention study of patients who underwent periocular reconstruction with full thickness skin grafts between 2005 and 2011. RESULTS One hundred consecutive Caucasian patients were included in the study, 54 women and 46 men. Mean follow up ...
