Under general anesthesia, donor skin was partially resected from lower limbs according to defect area of penile skin. Then shear the shape of graft was sheared, sutured to hostage skin defect and enswathed with tension. The postoperative appearance and function of the penis were satisfactory. It is suggest the homologous free skin flap from lower limbs is suitable for penile skin repair and beneficial to patient resulting in satisfactory erection and shape.展开更多

Thus, the necessity for judicious management poses significant challenges to surgeons in order to avoid potential permanent disabilities. We report a case of massive penoscrotal skin avulsion and a composite graft was creatively applied to cover the defect which achieved good results. We believe that this case is of great reference value for fellow surgeons.CASE SUMMARY A 52-year-old male presented with massive traumatic avulsion of the penile and scrotal skin following mishandling of an electric drill. The avulsed skin was missing. The patient was diagnosed with massive skin avulsion of external genitalia. Following initial complete debridement of devitalized or infected tissues, Pelnac dermal substitute was secured to the defect with the assistance of negative-pressure wound closure. In the final step, the silicone layer of Pelnac was removed and a split-thickness skin graft was applied. The defect had healed at the two-month follow-up. The patient now has normal erections and satisfactory sexual function.CONCLUSION Our experience with this wound repair demonstrated that the combination of a dermal regeneration template and a split-thickness skin graft with vacuumassisted closure is a safe, well-tolerated and efficient solution for the reconstruction of massive penoscrotal skin defects.展开更多

Patients are prone to infection during the transplantation immune deficiency period. There has been a lot of clinical research into how to better manage this period of vulnerability. Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) for skin disinfection in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and observe any adverse reactions. Methods: A total of 106 patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from November 2019 to December 2020 in our district were selected as the control group. From January 2021 to January 2022, 106 patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cells were included in the experimental group. The control group used the immersion bath method. The experimental group was treated with an improved scrub bath method (including 3M 2% chlorhexidine gluconate medical sanitary wipes to wipe the whole skin once). Results: The bacteria-carrying rate of the improved method (37.74%) was significantly better than that of the traditional soaking method (72.64%), and the difference was statistically significant (P Conclusion: The improved bath/wipe method has a significant positive effect on skin disinfection for patients undergoing HSCT.展开更多

The most advanced and expensive dressings have been compared to the most basic of dressings, with little or no consensus and an unpersuasive level of evidence. We aimed to determine the efficacy of the locally manufactured non-adherent, hydroconductive Drawtex? dressing and compare it to our current standard-of-care dressing, a thin transparent polyurethane film, in the healing of split-thickness donor sites. Methods: This prospective, within-patient controlled study included 27 adult participants, each with two split-thickness skin donor sites. The 54 donor site wounds were compared with regard to time to re-epithelialisation, perceived pain and healed wound quality. Results: By day 5, complete healing of donor site wounds, defined as >90% of epithelialized surface, was significantly higher in the hydroconductive dressing group compared to the polyurethane film group (22.2% and 3.7%, respectively;p < 0.0001). The hydroconductive dressing-treated donor site wounds were significantly less painful at 24-hours, 48-hours and 7-days post-operatively, and had fewer complications and superior wound healing quality. Conclusion: We have demonstrated that the relatively cheap and readily available dressing made locally in South Africa, Drawtex? is at least as safe, and potentially superior in wound healing, when compared to our current standard-of-care dressing.展开更多
