I believe that skin grafting is familiar to everyone, and it is also a cosmetic surgery for the skin. Generally, skin grafting is used, which mainly selects healthy skin and transplants a part to the burned skin to cover the scar area. The requirements of skin grafting are relatively high, and improper postoperative care of patients may also lead to skin grafting failure or some complications.
When the burn area reaches what size, do you need skin grafting? First, if the degree of burn area reaches two or three degrees, it means that the degree of burn is serious. Even if it can be treated well, the patient's skin will leave scars, which will seriously affect the patient's appearance. This condition can only be completely treated by skin surgery. Generally, the area of first-degree shallow second-degree burn is not very serious, and it will heal itself after treatment, which has little harm to patients. Proper care will not leave scars.
Second, the average patient's burn degree is in the third degree, and the burn area is less than 10%, which can be healed by only one skin grafting operation. The burn area of the patient is relatively large, above 10%, which requires skin grafting in several operations.
Third, skin grafting surgery needs to be selected according to the degree of burn area of patients. General skin grafting surgery is divided into autologous skin grafting surgery and skin tissue engineering technology. Choosing different surgical methods will achieve different results. If the patient must undergo skin grafting, different transplantation operations can be taken according to the different conditions of the patient.
Four, most of the burn area is skin grafting, and it is common to choose autologous skin grafting. Generally, before skin grafting, doctors should evaluate the burn area of patients, and choose which skin grafting operation is suitable according to the burn degree of patients, so as to achieve better results.
In daily life, we must learn how to save ourselves and reduce the degree of burns. Once burned, you should stay away from the burn source immediately to reduce the degree of skin burn, and you can take cooling treatment to prevent high temperature from causing deep damage to the skin. If the burn is serious, you must call the emergency number 120 to go to the hospital for treatment in time, and never take medication yourself to avoid aggravating the condition and affecting the treatment effect due to improper treatment.
