    Role Of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (APRP) In Take of Graft

    By Mohd Sharib Wahaj, Prof Dr Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Rashmi V Kumar, Padmalakshmi Bharathi Mohan

    Abstract: Autologous platelet-rich plasma (APRP) has gained attention as a promising adjunct in skin grafting procedures, particularly in enhancing the take and healing of grafts in burn patients. This study focuses on the application of APRP to improve the adherence of split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) in a pediatric patient with scald burns. APRP is prepared by concentrating the patient’s platelets from a small volume of blood, which is rich in growth …

    Role of Nail Filer Assisted Dermabrasion in Scald Burns

    By Venkatesh P, Prof Dr Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Bharat Prakash Reddy J

    Abstract: Deep second-degree and full-thickness burns tend to heal slowly and often result in scarring. To encourage proper healing, deep dermal burns need to be treated early with tangential excision and skin grafting. While superficial burns, which affect only the epidermis and upper dermal layers, can often be managed with wound irrigation, debridement, and basic wound care, deeper burns that extend into the lower dermal layers and beyond typically require more …

    Role of ABCDE Rule in Wound Assessment

    By Vaibhav Shukla, Prof Dr Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Jacob Antony Chakiath

    Abstract: The diagnosis of chronic wounds poses an interdisciplinary and interprofessional challenge. In routine clinical practice, the appropriate diagnostic workup is frequently carried out insufficiently. In addition to financial obstacles, those involved in the process often lack the required knowledge, a circumstance that must be overcome.

    Role of Functional Regenerative Trilaminar Scaffold Dressing in Wound Bed Preparation

    By Nabiel Salam, Prof Dr Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Padmalakshmi Bharati Mohan, Kanav Gupta, Jacob Antony Chakiath

    Abstract: Advancements in wound healing have incorporated tissue regeneration therapy as a crucial tool for managing both acute and chronic wounds. Bio constructs designed to facilitate wound regeneration utilize natural, artificial, or hybrid materials, collectively referred to as regeneration scaffolds. The components of regeneration scaffolds play a crucial role in enhancing the skin's natural self-renewal abilities and accelerating the healing process. These scaffolds are designed to provide essential growth factors and …

    Role of Therapeutic Index for Local Infections Score in Wound Assessment

    By Vaibhav Shukla, Prof Dr Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Jacob Antony Chakiath

    Abstract: Local wound infections pose a significant challenge, often detected later, leading to complications like systemic infections. Global nomenclature lacks uniformity, resulting in varied treatments for similar diagnoses. Early intervention is crucial, advocating for local antimicrobial therapy with diverse active agents to avoid systemic antibiotics and mitigate bacterial resistance. The Therapeutic Index for Local Infections (TILI) score, innovated by the German society Initiative Chronis Che Wenden (ICW), emerges as a pivotal …

    The Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma in Treating Web Space Scar Contractures in Pediatric Burn Patients

    By Prof Dr Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Anirudh Dwajan, Amrutha J S

    Abstract: Burn injuries are prevalent among children, with scald injuries emerging as the predominant type among those under the age of five, constituting more than 65% of cases. Despite receiving appropriate initial treatment and compressive therapy, deep burns often result in contractures, with web space and hand contractures being the most frequent and functionally limiting.To address these challenges in burn management, Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (APRP) has emerged as a significant …
