What emergency skin grafting treatment is performed for thermal burn injuries?

Burn wounds are debrided under sterile conditions followed by autologous split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) harvested from healthy donor skin sites.

What is flap reconstruction and when is it required for exposed bones or implants?

When bone, joint implants, or tendons are exposed after trauma, a vascularized tissue flap (skin, muscle, or fascia) is transferred to provide durable blood supply and soft tissue cover.

Can tight post-burn scar contractures be released to restore joint movement?

Yes, we perform surgical z-plasty contracture releases, scar excision, and skin grafting to eliminate joint tightness and restore full range of motion.

What chronic non-healing wound management techniques (like VAC therapy) are used?

We utilize Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC / negative pressure wound therapy) to stimulate rapid granulation tissue growth in non-healing ulcers.

How soon after trauma should reconstructive soft tissue repair be performed?

Primary soft tissue repair should be performed within the first 6 to 24 hours of injury to minimize infection risk and ensure optimal tissue survival.
