  • Title: One-stage treatment of gunshot wounds.
    Author: Ziv I, London E, Wishnie PA, Scherer PR, Segal D.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1989; 28(3):255-8. PubMed ID: 2576273.
    Abstract:
    Delayed primary closure has been advocated for the treatment of gunshot wounds owing to the fact that they are highly contaminated. The authors believe that with meticulous debridement, contaminants are removed; thus, early wound coverage with meshed split-thickness skin graft allows for drainage along with faster healing of all tissues. Split-thickness skin excision was found to be a useful procedure in the immediate management of gunshot injuries.
