Artificial dermis combined with split-thickness skin autograft in the treatment of hand thermal compression wounds: a single center case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the clinical effect of artificial dermis combined with split-thickness skin autograft in treating hand thermal compression wounds.

Methods

Forty-two patients in our hospital from January 2016 to October 2022 with thermal compression wounds were divided into two groups. The survival rate of autologous skin grafts seven days after skin grafting, the number of operations, total hospital stay, total hospitalization cost, and bacterial culture results of secretions were recorded. The visual analog scale was used to evaluate the wound pain. The condition of skin graft rupture was recorded and the scar status of the donor site was evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale.
