Abstract
ObjectiveTo study the different surgical treatments in 154 elderly patients with acute deep burns of lower extremities admitted in Burn Department of RSCUMA. MethodsSkin grafts in extensive burns were performed in 32 patients for the purpose of achieving early closure of the burn area. In 116 patients with burn surface area of 6-25 %, skin grafting was performed on the granulating wound when the wound was ready for accepting skin graft. In these 19 cases, a stamp graft procedure was used in 12 patients and Mowlen-Jackson method of skin grafting in 7 cases. ResultsAnalysis of the nearest results showed that 28 out of 154 patients came back to the hospital for new surgery due to loss of ability of normal movement of their extremities. ConclusionsCareful patient selection and timing of surgery will help to avoid any adverse effect on patient outcome.
