Abstract

Tangential excision followed by immediate coverage using split skin grafts is considered the standard approach for treating deep burns, but it comes with its drawbacks. Challenges arise when there’s a lack of donor area, and the grafts often lead to contraction and suboptimal aesthetic and functional results. While various biological and cellular substitutes have been developed, they tend to be costly and not always suitable for routine use in our demographic. Here, we present a new technique utilizing a collagen and dermal extract scaffold from full thickness skin graft (Fig. 3) obtained from abdominoplasty (Fig. 2) of the same patient for wound coverage. This scaffold offers safety, ease of preparation, affordability, and effectiveness in managing raw areas post-procedure.
