Abstract

An analysis of the results of the treatment of 180 donor wounds following cutting off thick or full-thickness grafts by means of a dermatome in 123 patients with post-burn deformities and contractures is presented. The healing period variants, depending on the thickness of the grafts and on the treatment method, have been found. The authors recommend to cover the donor wounds with thin grafts or with sieve grafts.
