Abstract

Aim: To study the role of Autologous LipoapsirateTherapy (ALA) in management of chronic non healing wounds. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 8 cases with 10 chronic non healing wounds of different aetiologies where autologous lipoapsirate therapy was used. Results: Out of 8 cases with 10 wounds, 4 wounds healed with autologous lipoaspirate therapy (ALA) alone. Three wounds healed by ALA and skin graft and 3 healed by ALA and flap cover. Conclusion: In chronic non healing wounds, ALA therapy accelerates the process of wound        healing by secondary intention and hastens the wound bed preparation for cover by skin graft/flap.

Keywords: Autologous lipoaspirate; chronic non healing wounds
