    Summary

    Accelerated plasty using inguinal flaps effectively treated severe electric burns and frostbites. This innovative technique enabled a second skin grafting stage just five days after the initial surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Burn and frostbite treatment
    • Tissue engineering

    Context:

    • Severe (IV degree) electric burns and frostbites present significant reconstructive challenges.
    • Traditional skin grafting methods may require longer intervals between stages, delaying patient recovery.
    • The need for advanced surgical techniques to expedite treatment for extensive tissue damage is critical.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of accelerated plasty with an inguinal flap for treating severe burns and frostbites.
    • To assess the feasibility of performing a second-stage skin graft within five days using a modified pedicle compression technique.
    • To determine if this accelerated approach can improve outcomes for patients with extensive tissue loss.

    Summary:

    • A cohort of 13 patients with IV-degree electric burns and frostbites underwent accelerated plasty utilizing an inguinal flap.
    • A specialized protocol involving periodical, incrementally increased compression of the flap's feeding pedicle, initiated one day post-operation, facilitated a second grafting stage just 120 hours after the first.
    • This accelerated, two-stage approach was successfully implemented, demonstrating the viability of the technique.

    Impact:

    • This accelerated surgical method potentially reduces overall treatment time for severe burns and frostbites.
    • The technique offers a promising alternative for expediting reconstructive procedures in complex cases.
    • Successful implementation of early secondary grafting may lead to improved functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients.
