Use of Preputial Skin as Cutaneous Graft after Nevus Excision

We report a four-year-old boy with a nevus covering all the plantar side of his second finger on the left foot. He was also affected by congenital phimosis. Surgical excision of the nevus was indicated, but the skin defect would have been too large to be directly closed. The foreskin was taken as a full-thickness skin graft to cover the cutaneous defect of the finger. The graft intake was favourable and provided a functional repair with good aesthetic characteristic.

Background. Excessive resection of penile skin is a rare but important complication of circumcision. Penis 'trapping' under the skin and consequent sexual dysfunction occur as a result. Case report. Excessive circumcision with complete resection of the penile skin is shown. Penis, trapped under the skin, was deliberated and skin defect was substituted with the full thickness skin graft. One year after the surgery penis has a good cosmetic appearance, adequate size and sexual function. Conclusion. Full thickness skin graft is a good option for augmentation of the penile skin loss in cases with intact hypodermal tissue and extensive skin loss, for the reconstruction in a single act.

Cicatricial Ectropion

Background: Traditionally, sutures are used to attach skin graft. Periocular skin reconstruction is peculiar in respect of constant movement of the graft bed due to lid movements. This study was aimed at evaluating the use of fibrin glue in skin graft for cicatricial ectropion.Methods: This was prospective, non-randomized, interventional study. Total 10 patients with cicatricial ectropion were recruited. After dissection of scar, skin defect was covered with full thickness post auricular graft. Fibrin glue used to attach the graft over host bed. Bolster tied and bandage applied. Patients were evaluated for graft stability, opposition of graft host junction and graft uptake.Results: The mean age was 30.9 years. Patients were divided into three groups i.e. 20-30 years, 30-40 years and 40-50 years. There were 05 patients (50%) in first group, 03 patients (30%) in second group and 02 patients (20%) in third group. Majority (90%) were male. Following injury 70% patients reported between 1-3 years. Grade 3 ectropion was most common (60%). Average duration of surgery was 79.3 min (standard deviation of 14.15 min). Horizontal dimensions of graft, 32 mm maximum and 26 mm minimum (average 29 mm). Vertical dimensions of graft, 18 mm maximum and 12 mm minimum (average 15 mm). Graft uptake was complete in all cases. No cases of graft infection or necrosis. However, 03 patients had residual ectropion.Conclusions: Use of fibrin glue in attaching full thickness skin graft is an effective and safe technique with good uptake and stable graft host junction.

Hand Friction

Abstract The incidence of pediatric treadmill hand friction burns has been increasing every year. The injuries are deeper than thermal hand burns, the optimal treatment remains unclear. This was a retrospective study of children who received surgery for treadmill hand friction burns from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, in a single burn center. A total of 22 children were surveyed. The patients were naturally divided into two groups: the wound repair group (13 patients), which was admitted early to the hospital after injury and received debridement and vacuum sealing drainage initially, and a full-thickness skin graft later; and the scar repair group (9 patients), in which a scar contracture developed as a result of wound healing and received scar release and skin grafting later. The Modified Michigan Hand Questionnaire score in the wound repair group was 116.31 ± 10.55, and the corresponding score in the scar repair group was 117.56 ± 8.85 (P>0.05), no statistically significant difference. The Vancouver Scar Scale score in the wound repair group was 4.15 ± 1.21, and the corresponding score in the scar repair group was 7.22 ± 1.09 (P<0.05). Parents were satisfied with the postoperative appearance and function of the hand. None in the two groups required secondary surgery. If the burns are deep second degree, third degree, or infected, early debridement, vacuum sealing drainage initially, and a full-thickness skin graft can obviously relieve pediatric pain, shorten the course of the disease, and restore the function of the hand as soon as possible.
