Reconstruction with secondary healing and split thickness skin
graft
In secondary healed cases, medical dressings were applied once a day
(chlorhexidine acetate 0.5% w/w tulle gras) taking into account the
rules of asepsis and antisepsis. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)
was performed with 80 mm Hg continuous mode. In patients who underwent
skin grafting, split thickness skin grafts (STSGs) were obtained with an
electric dermatome under general anesthesia. After grafting, bolster
dressing was applied onto the graft and short leg splint was used for
seven days. Bolster dressing was removed three days after the
application and wound care continued with skin pomade including 2%
Mupirocin.
