Abstract

All deeper burns i.e. second degree deep dermal and full thickness heals by scarring that
causes restrictions in the movements and aesthetics issues for patients. Burn reconstructive
surgery requires that the defects after release should be replaced with donor tissues which have
matching texture and colour like autologous skin grafting or flap surgeries. Here we are using
this method to look for role in take of FTSG post burn contracture. Full-thickness skin grafts
include full thickness of the epidermis and dermis whereas split-thickness skin grafts (STSG)
include the entire epidermis and only partial dermis. The main complication of this procedure
is risk of graft failure. Keratinocyte cells suspension is claimed to hasten the wound healing.
In this article, we share our experience of using non-cultured keratinocyte grafting (NCKG) in
improving the take of full thickness skin graft (FTSG).
