INDICATION: Patient has a hypertrophic scar on the posterior side of the left leg, at the
level of the knee. This has begun to restrict his mobility. His physical therapy trial was
unsuccessful.
PROCEDURE: After the proper induction of anesthesia, the subcutaneous tissue of the
patient's left leg beneath the scar was infiltrated with crystalloid solution containing
epinephrine to minimize blood loss. The scar was then excised down to viable dermis.
Hemostasis was obtained with epinephrine soaked pads. Skin was created by the
surgery. The graft was secured with skin staples, and then dressed with fine mesh
guaze followed by medication-soaked gauze. The donor site was dressed with mesh
followed by Adaptic followed by a dry dressing and an Ace wrap.

INDICATIONS: 15-yr-old boy was burned in a fire & assessed to have received burns to
75% of his total body surface area. He was transferred to a burn center for definitive
treatment. Once stable, he was brought to the OR. PROCEDURE: Due to extent of the
patients burns & lack of sufficient donor sites, his full-thickness burns will be excised &
covered with xenograft (skin substitute graft), & a split-thickness skin biopsy will be
harvested for preparation of autologous grafts to be applied in the coming weeks, when
available. After induction of anesthesia, extensive debridement of the full-thickness
burns was undertaken. Attention was first directed to the patients face, neck, & scalp. A
total of 500 sq cm in this area received full-thickness burns. The eschar involving this
area was excised down to viable tissue. Hemostasis was achieved using electrocautery.
Attention was then turned to the trunk. A total of 950 sq - C. 15277, 15278 x 7, 15272,
