Detailed Description
A prospective study comparing the use of mini-autogenous skin grafts and skin homograft versus autogenous skin grafts for covering post burn wounds in children so that the patient can continue on his/her normal life early with less deformities
Interventions
- Procedure: Mini autogenous skin graft
- mini-autogenous skin grafts and skin homograft versus autogenous skin grafts for covering post burn wounds in children.
Arms, Groups and Cohorts
- Active Comparator: Mini autogenous skin grafts
- we take the autogenous skin graft from the same patient then cut it into small pieces then we spread it over the burn wound on one limb then cover these small pieces with homogenous skin graft taken from another person.
- Active Comparator: Autogenous skin graft
- we take the regular autogenous one piece skin graft from the same patient and cover the burn wound on the other limb then we make a comparison between both limbs
Clinical Trial Outcome Measures
Primary Measures
- The major outcome is to specify if the regular single piece autogenous skin graft is better than the new technique that uses small pieces mini autogenous skin grafts for treatment of post burn wounds in children. or vice versa?
- Time Frame: 2 years
- the spread of the small pieced autogenous skin grafts that are covered with homogenous skin graft over post burn wounds in children may give better results than the regular single pieced autogenous skin graft
