Reconstruction of penile skin loss resulting from various causes is a challenge for clinician. Especially in a potent man, functional and cosmetic outcomes are demanded. Conservative treatment with topical agents is not enough for the full-thickness burn although hypertrophic scar and secondary contracture usually occurs. Resurfacing of total penile full-thickness burn after wound management with the Versajet hydrosurgery system (a water-jet powered debrider) is described for the first use in our hospital.

Purpose: Treatment of severe burn wound injury remains a significant clinical challenge as serious infections/complex repair process and irregulating inflammation response. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have a multidirectional differentiation potential and could repair multiple injuries under appropriate conditions. Poly(L-lysine)-graft-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PLL-g-HPA) hydrogel is an enzyme-promoted biodegradable in hydrogel with good water absorption, biocompatibility and anti-bacterial properties.

Background: Recurrent burn contractures on the volar aspect of the hand present a formidable challenge, especially in the pediatric patient. We used Integra followed by staged full-thickness skin grafting for recurrent bilateral volar hand burn contracture in a toddler. We reviewed the literature to appraise the utility of full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) combined with Integra used for volar hand contractures.

Several studies in rabbits demonstrated the efficacy and safety of topical losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) that modulates the TGF-β intracellular signaling pathways by inhibiting the activation of Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase (ERK), in preventing or treating stromal fibrosis after a range of injuries such as Descemetorhexis, alkali burns, incisions, and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Several case reports have shown that topical losartan treatment is also efficacious and safe in humans to prevent or treat stromal fibrosis after many different injuries or diseases. Topical losartan penetrates the full thickness of the cornea and, therefore, can treat both anterior and posterior stromal fibrosis.

Thermal or burn injuries cause coagulative necrosis of the epidermis and underlying tissues and the resultant wounds can be long lasting and highly painful. Depending on the depth of a burn, management ranges from local wound care to surgical intervention. When presented with deep-partial thickness and full-thickness burns, autologous skin grafting has been the mainstay of management to prevent scarring and promote healing.

Burn injuries in patients with significant pre-existing medical conditions provide unique challenges in both medical management and surgical planning. Spasticity, if left untreated, can be one of the most disabling consequences of a neurologic injury. Treatment is largely dependent on pharmacologic management with anti-spasmodic agents such as baclofen.
