摘要：Cosmetically unacceptable pigmentation changes and hypertrophic scarring often complicate split thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites. In fact, patients often ask about other alternatives when confronted with the need to harvest STSG, particularly because they fear additional disfigurement. Because recent evidence suggests that a moist environment promotes more optimal healing, we conducted a limited controlled and comparative study to assess the effect of a newly introduced burn ointment MEBO (Moist Exposed Burn Ointment) (Julphar Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries, Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE) on re-epithelialization and healing of STSG donor sites as compared with the conventional Sofra-Tulle semi-open dressing (Roussel Laboratories Ltd., Uxbridge, England). We observed that MEBO treated areas were completely reepithelialized within 5 to 6 days while conventionally treated areas required 10 to 12 days to heal.
