Abstract

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used in different fields, including healing of chronic ulcers like diabetic and pressure ulcers. Here we are using this method to look for role in FTSG donor site. Full-thickness skin grafts include full thickness of the epidermis and dermis where as split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) include the entire epidermis and only partial dermis. LLLT improves tissue perfusion and fibroblast proliferation, with increases in collagen synthesis accelerating wound healing. In this case report we highlight the role of Low level Laser therapy (LLLT) as a adjuvant agent for accelerating healing of full thickness skin graft recipient site.
