Abstract CASE DESCRIPTION A 12-year-old 32-kg neutered female crossbreed dog was treated for a large lumbosacral skin defect. CLINICAL FINDINGS The dog had sustained multiple, penetrating dog bite wounds to the lumbosacral and gluteal regions 5 days earlier. The referring veterinarian had initiated treatment with amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, which was continued at a dosage of 8.75 mg/kg, SC, every 24 hours at the referral hospital. Examination of the skin defect revealed a large subcutaneous abscess in the dorsal lumbosacral region with draining perimeter tracts at the wound margin. The partial-thickness wound measured 24 × 35 cm and had multifocal regions of necrosis extending caudally from the dorsal aspect of the T11 vertebra to the tail base. The skin defect was bounded by discolored and necrotic skin edges. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME The dog underwent extensive soft tissue wound reconstruction. A single, large, meshed full-thickness free skin graft was harvested from the left dorsolateral aspect of the thorax and grafted to the dorsal lumbosacral region, thereby enabling successful closure of the wound defect. Primary healing of the wound eventually occurred, without postoperative complications. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Use of a large, meshed full-thickness free skin graft led to a satisfactory outcome for this dog but required challenging postoperative management. Application of single, large, meshed full-thickness free skin grafts may be an option to manage large skin deficits in the lumbosacral area in dogs.

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.

Abstract Background Self-repair of lower limb wounds has always been one of the research hotspots. Flaps and skin graft are the preferred treatment for lower extremity wound reconstruction. However, these treatments have many disadvantages, such as secondary damage, poor healing quality. In recent years, the use of acellular dermal matrix has emerged as an alternative treatment option for extremity ulcers. Methods This study aimed to explore whether acellular dermal matrix can be used as a single treatment to promote wound healing. 7 patients with lower extremities cutaneous deficiency exposing bone or tendon, was covered by Pelnac, which was an acellular dermal matrix product approved by China Food and Drug Administration. All the wound was treated by Pelnac without flaps and skin graft. The external dressing was changed every 10 days. Results After a maximum of 20 weeks, all the wounds were completely healed. During the 12 months follow-up period none of the patients developed skin wear on the treatment area. All patients maintained their postoperative ambulatory ability. All patients were satisfied with the appearance and feeling after wound healing. Conclusions These findings may mean acellular dermal matrix is a novel method offering opportunity for treatment of lower extremities cutaneous deficiency exposing bone or tendon. It also has the potential to close wounds of all uninfected, non-ischemic, full-thickness cutaneous deficiency.

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.

One of the most common methods of skin defect repairing is the use of a skin graft. It is simple and reliable technique, although sometimes it is not totally successful due to hematoma and seroma formation between the skin graft and the recipient bed. Here in, we present a method to secure the skin grafts using a surgical sponge with two running sutures. This technique ensures high survival rate of the skin grafts, and in addition it is easy to be performed by the surgeon only.

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.

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.

The Authors report their experience in the new urethroplasty technique by Barbagli for penile and bulbar urethral strictures. This procedure involves a free skin graft sutured to the corpora cavernosa. With this dorsal approach mechanical weakening is virtually impossible, so pseudo-diverticulum or urethrocele cannot develop. We adopted this technique in 5 patients during the last 12 months. The strictures of the urethra were 2.5 to 8 cm long. The follow-up, even thought short, show that this technique is safe and quite simple.
