摘要目的:探讨新型拉杆式皮肤牵张器在皮肤全层缺损创面中的应用效果。方法:回顾性研究2015年5至2019年1月陆军军医大学大坪医院应用新型拉杆式皮肤牵张器修复的52例皮肤全层缺损创面的患者资料。男40例，女12例；年龄4~61岁,平均37.1岁。皮肤牵张后一期闭合创面；未一期闭合者，根据创面情况决定再次行牵张术进而关闭创面，若经皮肤牵张后Pinch试验阴性则直接缝合，若Pinch试验阳性则采用植皮、皮瓣修复剩余创面。术后12个月观察瘢痕有无挛缩，植皮及皮瓣区域大小，并与原创面进行比较评价牵张后创面愈合情况。结果:经皮肤牵张后一期闭合创面36例，分期闭合创面8例，剩余的8例患者在皮肤牵张缩小创面后经植皮修复2例，皮瓣修复6例。一期闭合创面中，发生感染3例，皮缘坏死5例；分期关闭创面未出现感染，但发生皮缘坏死2例；在8例经皮肤牵张缩小创面后植皮或皮瓣修复患者中，未出现感染及皮瓣坏死情况。所有患者术后随访12个月，经一期或分期闭合伤口愈合良好，瘢痕呈线性，无瘢痕挛缩，经植皮或皮瓣修复创面患者植皮或皮瓣面积小于原有创面。结论:应用新型拉杆式皮肤牵张器的皮肤牵张术是一种有效的皮肤创面治疗手段，针对部分患者可替代传统的植皮术和皮瓣手术，但严格把握适应证可以避免相关并发症的发生。

abstractsObjective:To evaluate a new type of draw-bar skin stretcher in repair of full-thickness skin defects.Methods:From May 2015 to January 2019, 52 patients with full-thickness skin defects were repaired with a new type of draw-bar skin stretcher at Daping Hospital, Army Medical University. They were 40 males and 12 females, aged from 4 to 61 years (average, 37.1 years). Their skin was stretched for primary wound closure. When primary wound closure failed, skin stretching was performed again to close the wound depending on the wound condition. When the Pinch test was negative after skin stretching, the wound was sutured directly. In cases of positive Pinch test, a skin graft or flap was used to repair the remaining wound. At 12 months after surgery, scar contracture and size of skin graft or flap were observed and wound healing after skin stretching was evaluated in comparison with the original wound.Results:After skin stretching, one-stage wound closure was achieved in 36 cases and multi-stage wound closure in 8 cases; of the remaining 8 cases, 2 were repaired by skin graft and 6 by skin flap after their wounds were reduced by skin stretching. In one-stage closed wounds, infection occurred in 3 cases and marginal necrosis in 5 cases; in the wounds repaired by skin graft or flap, no infection or necrosis was observed. The 12-month follow-up for all the patients showed fine healing of all the wounds after one-stage or multi-stage closure, linear scar, absence of scar contracture, and smaller wound sizes than the original ones after skin graft or flap repair.Conclusions:Skin stretching using our new type of draw-bar skin stretcher is an effective treatment for skin wounds. It can replace traditional skin grafting and flap surgery in some cases, but its indications should be strictly followed to avoid related complications.
