How to Perform Pinch/Punch Grafts for the Treatment of Granulating Wounds in the Horse
نویسندگان
چکیده
Punch and pinch skin grafts can be performed readily on the standing horse in the field using basic equipment. Practitioners should utilize these successful grafting techniques to routinely treat granulating equine wounds in order to reduce healing time and create a cosmetic and functional scar.

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...
