Pharmacological and Medical Effect of Modified Skin Grafting Method in Patients with Chronic and Severe Neck Burns %K Scar Contracture %K Medicinal Care %K Surgery %K patients %R 10.26655/JMCHEMSCI.2022.3.11 %X Scar contracture is the major complication of neck burn, which impairs the organs functions. Scar contracture causes limiting the range of neck motion, organ malfunction and some damages to the patient’s esthetic and his appearance. Since the studies in this field are not developed well, it is difficult to treat and manage these patients. The principal approach is scar releasing surgery followed by reconstructive surgery. There are many methods of reconstructive surgeries, each patient has his own specific methods, and it depends on surgeons’ decision. Split thickness skin graft (STSG), full-thickness skin graft (FTSG), free flaps, local flaps, V-Y plasty, and V-M plasty are the most common methods used for reconstructive surgeries. In this study, modified free-tension skin grafting was used as the reconstructive procedure, which had shorter treatment period and better treatment outcomes in terms of esthetic and range of motion than the traditional methods. %U https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_141756_a1dde8af8d1d9f512216f8d2707f3a48.pdf
