Perineal and thing burns (deep) - Healed by Multiple Debridements and Split thickness Skin grafting


















Muthyalu, a 25 year old worker in a ceramic factory, accidentally fell on a hot surface and suffered burns over his perineum, inner thighs and buttocks and legs and face. 
Most of the burns were full thickness deep grade 4 burns. Multiple debridements were done to excise the burn tissue. Simultaneously a Diverting colostomy was done to prevent soiling the burn wounds. A negative pressure wound dressing was applied to improve the wounds. Once the wounds were healthy without any infection, Wound coverage was done with split thickness skin grafting.
