  • Title: The multiple Y-V plasty in linear burn scar contracture release.
    Author: Cooper MA.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1990 Mar; 43(2):145-9. PubMed ID: 2328374.
    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.
