dc.description.abstractWe performed a retrospective analysis to compare the efficacy of the vacuum assisted closure (VAC) therapy and conventional cotton gauze dressing of wounds. From July 2011 to August 2013, 40 patients were included in the study. All patients were reconstructed with split thickness skin graft after the granulation tissue was sufficient Two groups of 20 patients Were compared retrospectively. Data were collected for gender, age, time needed for sufficient granulation tissue for split thickness skin grafts, length of stay in hospital and. number of debridement for wound VAC application, and conventional cotton gauze dressing methods. Demographic data were the Same. for two groups. Time needed to have a good granulation tissue that was sufficient for split thickness skin graft, length of stay in hospital, and number of debridement were significantly less in VAC treatment group (P<0,05). No major complication occurred that was directly attributable to treament. VAC therapy appears to be a good adjunct for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and found to facilitate the rapid formation of healthy granulation tissue on wounds in the lower limb and shortens the length of stay in hospital.en_US
