Method: From January 2016 to January 2018, a total of 70 patients undergoing reconstruction of skin and soft tissue defects in ankles and legs with calf pedicle island flap in Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected into our research. Selected patients were divided into VSD group and pressure dressing group according to the order of surgery. The VSD group was treated with free skin grafting and vacuum sealing drainage after separation of donor-site flap. The pressure dressing group was treated with free skin grafting and traditional pressure dressing technology after the separation of donor-site flap. Visual acuity simulation scores (VAS) were observed and recorded on the 1st, 7th, and 14th day after surgery. The unpacking time, skin graft healing time, skin graft survival rate, infection rate and incidence of subcutaneous hematoma were compared between the two groups. Results: The VAS scores on the 7th and 14th day after surgery in the VSD group were lower than those in the pressure dressing group. The unpacking time and skin graft healing time of the VSD group were shorter than those of the pressure dressing group. The survival rate of skin graft in VSD group was higher than that in the pressure dressing group. The infection rate and the incidence of subcutaneous hematoma in the VSD group were lower than those in the pressure dressing group. Conclusion: Vacuum sealing drainage is beneficial to promote the healing of free skin grafts in the donor site of the calf pedicle island flap, relieve pain, reduce adverse reactions, safe and effective, and worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多

Aim: Examine the clinical efficacy of bilayer artificial dermis combined with Vacuum Sealing Drainage (VSD) technology in the treatment of chronic wounds. Method: From June 2021 to December 2023, our hospital treated 24 patients with chronic skin tissue wounds on their limbs using a novel tissue engineering product, the bilayer artificial dermis, in combination with VSD technology to repair the wounds. The bilayer artificial dermis protects subcutaneous tissue, blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and tendons, and also promotes the growth of granulation tissue and blood vessels to aid in wound healing when used in conjunction with VSD technology for wound dressing changes in chronic wounds. Results: In this study, 24 cases of chronic wounds with exposed bone or tendon larger than 1.0 cm2 were treated with a bilayer artificial skin combined with VSD dressing after wound debridement. The wounds were not suitable for immediate skin grafting. At 2 - 3 weeks post-treatment, good granulation tissue growth was observed. Subsequent procedures included thick skin grafting or wound dressing changes until complete wound healing. Patients were followed up on average for 3 months (range: 1 - 12 months) post-surgery. Comparative analysis of the appearance, function, skin color, elasticity, and sensation of the healed chronic wounds revealed superior outcomes compared to traditional skin fl repairs, resulting in significantly higher satisfaction levels among patients and their families. Conclusion: The application of bilayer artificial dermis combined with VSD technology for the repair of chronic wounds proves to be a viable method, yielding satisfactory therapeutic effects compared to traditional skin flap procedures.展开更多
