The effect of modified autologous medium thickness skin graft on the repair of deep burn wounds in functional areas
Objective To explore the effect of using modified autologous medium thick skin graft on wound repair in patients with deep functional burns.Methods Fifty patients with deep functional burns admitted to the Burn Department of Putian First Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected and divided into a study group(n=25)and a control group(n=25)according to different treatment methods.The control group was treated with conventional autologous medium thick skin grafts,while the study group was treated with modified autologous medium thick skin grafts.The wound healing quality,wound healing time,hospital stay,and scar situation in both groups were compared.Results The overall excellent and good rate of wound healing in the study group was 96.00%,which was higher than the control group's 72.00%,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=5.357,P<0.05).The wound healing(9.65±2.74)days and hospitalization time(11.47±2.77)days in the study group were shorter than those in the control group(11.52±2.96)days and(13.83±3.12)days,and the difference was statistically significant(t-values were 2.318,2.828,P<0.05).The Vancouver Scar Scale score in the study group(4.62±0.75)was lower than that in the control group(5.41±1.02)points,and the difference was statistically significant(t=3.100,P<0.05).Conclusions The use of modified autologous medium thickness skin grafts for the treatment of deep burns in functional areas can improve the quality of wound healing,shorten wound healing time and hospitalization time,and improve scar conditions.
