Brief Summary

This is a clinical trial study that compare two plastic surgery techniques in patients with third degree of burning and both techniques are used in all patients but in different areas of burning sites of the patients.

Detailed Description

PATIENT REGISTRATION:

The patients are registered after careful examination for third degree of burning and based on the need for skin grafting and of course a written consent were acquired. Excluded patients were those with an infected lesion or those who did not allow us to enter them into the study.

Progression of the treatment results of both techniques were visited by the surgeon regularly.

At the end of the study the data were checked with other similar studies. The acquired data were compared to other external data sources via medical records.

There were two standard operating techniques: modified meek skin grafting technique and mesh skin grafting technique.

The data was analyzed by chi-square and t-test.

Conditions

Third Degree Burns

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: CROSSOVER
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

modified Meek technique

Intervention: modified Meek skin grafting technique. Patients with third degree of burns without infected wounds are included and the modified Meek results are studied , measured and compared to other group which is operated lesions by mesh technique

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

modified Meek skin grafting technique

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

patients with third degree of burns and without infected wounds are entered to the study and modified Meek skin grating technique is used to treat them and then the results of the procedure are compared to mesh skin grafting technique results by measuring the square centimeters of healed areas related to the technique

mesh technique

Intervention: mesh skin grafting technique. patients with third degree of burns without infected wounds are included and the mesh skin grafting technique results are studied , measured and compared to other group which is operated lesions by modified Meek skin grafting technique

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

mesh skin grafting technique

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

patients with third degree of burns and without infected wounds are entered to the study and mesh skin grating technique is used to treat them and then the results of the procedure are compared to modified Meek skin grafting technique results by measuring the square centimeters of healed areas related to the technique

Interventions
