Abstract: Panniculectomy with Simultaneous Ventral Hernia Repair: A Retrospective Analysis of Surgical Outcomes

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 ConCluSionS: Xenografting appears to be a reasonable option for patients with partial-thickness scald injuries. The cost, LOS, HAIs, and ICU days for the Xenografting cohort fell in-between the Non-Op and Autografting cohorts, as would be expected. While non-operative management may be appropriate for small/superficial burns, and Autografting may be required for large/deep burns, xenografting provides rapid wound closure. Xenografting also permits earlier hospital discharge, reduces need for reconstruction, and should strongly be considered as first line therapy for intermediatedepth pediatric scald injuries.
