About this study

PATIENT REGISTRATION:

The patients are registered after careful examination for third degree of burning and based on the need for skin grafting and of course a written consent were acquired. Excluded patients were those with an infected lesion or those who did not allow us to enter them into the study.

Progression of the treatment results of both techniques were visited by the surgeon regularly.

At the end of the study the data were checked with other similar studies. The acquired data were compared to other external data sources via medical records.

There were two standard operating techniques: modified meek skin grafting technique and mesh skin grafting technique.

The data was analyzed by chi-square and t-test.

  • third degree of burning

Exclusion criteria

  • infected lesions

Treatment and study plan

modified Meek skin grafting technique

Procedure

patients with third degree of burns and without infected wounds are entered to the study and modified Meek skin grating technique is used to treat them and then the results of the procedure are compared to mesh skin grafting technique results by measuring the square centimeters of healed areas related to the technique

mesh skin grafting technique

Procedure

patients with third degree of burns and without infected wounds are entered to the study and mesh skin grating technique is used to treat them and then the results of the procedure are compared to modified Meek skin grafting technique results by measuring the square centimeters of healed areas related to the technique

Primary outcomes

  1. measuring the size and speed of healing areas under treatment with two different skin graft techniques in a fourteen month period

    Time frame: up to Fourteen months

    Comparing recovering areas operated by two different techniques: square centimeter was the scaling measure
