Summary

the study evaluates the role of autologous fat grafting and the usage of nanofat in the treatment of the acute burn injuries in different genders and its influences on the healing time and hospital stay, pain control, the need and take of a split thickness skin graft and its size, and the end resulting early scarring, in comparison with control group that were treated with traditional methods, so as to find out new method of treating burn injuries and decreasing its morbidity.

Detailed description

as the patient is admitted, full evaluation locally ( as regard the wound itself and the areas of fat harvesting) and generally (assessment of the general condition) is done, fluid resuscitation is started as the unit protocol hand in hand with the analgesia and other medications prescribed according to the unit protocol. the patient's general condition is optimized for surgery of the fat extraction and grafting which typically should be within the first 6 days of admission. then under anesthesia (any possible type from local and regional up to general anesthesia) liposuction procedure is performed, then fat is processed then grafted at the wound site with other portion prepared as nanofat for topical use and wound coverage, then sterile dressing is applied. typically follow up is held daily with the dressing change day after another with the use of the nanofat only and sterile dressing
