Treatment of wounds with the help of punch grafts and mesh grafts

Abstract

This article describes the treatment of wounds with the help of two techniques of skin defect closure, namely the use of free layer-by-layer skin grafts and free skin grafting by the brand method. Studies to compare techniques were conducted on 5 dogs and 4 cats. The aim of the research was to study the techniques of wound treatment with the help of free layered flaps and free skin grafting by the brand method, comparing these two methods of surgical closure of wound defects. The animals used in the experiments, with wound surfaces of various sizes in the distal parts of the limbs, resulting from injury. Wounds in these animals were observed at all stages of the wound process. In the course of the research, free layered flaps were transplanted by collecting flaps from the donor site, preparing them and transferring them to the recipient bed. And they used the technique of skin grafting in the vintage way - transplanting in granulation of small thin pieces of skin. As a result, we found out the following: in all experimental animals, the wound surfaces of which were closed with the help of free layered flaps and the branded method of skin transplantation, complete engraftment of the flaps was observed. In the course of studying the techniques of transplantation of a free layer-by-layer flap of the skin and the brand method of skin transplantation, it was found out that when a free layer-by-layer flap is transplanted, complete wound healing occurs 9-13 days earlier than with the brandname method of skin grafting. The main disadvantages of the branded method of skin transplantation compared with the free layered flap are unsatisfactory cosmetic results, and the epithelialized wound surface, which does not have the full graft strength of the entire wound, and may be excessively traumatized.
