The multiple Y-V plasty in linear burn scar contracture release
1990
Abstract The technique of the multiple Y-V plasty is described. The records of all 129 patients who underwent surgery to release burn scar contractures over a 5-year period are reviewed. Halfway through this study period the multiple Y-V plasty was introduced, resulting in a marked reduction in the number of Z-plasty and skin grafting procedures carried out. There was an associated fall in the number of wound complications seen and the length of hospital stay required.
