Abstract

Background: "Hypertrophic scars" are excessive scars in which the dense fibrous tissue does not extend beyond the borders of the original wound or incision. They tend to be wider than necessary for normal wound healing to occur. Histologically, hypertrophic scars have more organized collagen fibers than keloids, and scant mucoid matrix. Hypertrophic lesions are characterized by randomly distributed tissue bundles consisting of uni-axially oriented extracellular matrix and cells. Materials and methods: This is a prospective and single centre study conducted in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital from November 2021 to October 2022. Males and females in the age group between 18 and 60 years were included in this study. The split thickness skin graft was harvested from a normal thigh where no skin graft had been harvested earlier. Indications for skin grafting were both elective and emergency. Result: Better Aesthetic and symptomatic outcome in Triamcinolone injected skin graft donar areas. Conclusion: Injection of Triamcinolone into skin graft donar areas will reduce hypertrophic scarring significantly
