A staged reconstruction using a dermal regeneration template and skin grafting successfully restored function and appearance in a pediatric hand sarcoma case. Long-term follow-up confirmed durable, aesthetic outcomes with excellent hand function.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Hand Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Hand sarcomas pose significant reconstructive challenges, especially in pediatric patients due to growth considerations.
- Congenital fibrosarcoma in neonates requires complex management strategies.
- Limited local tissue availability complicates hand defect reconstruction.
