“…An alternative method of CO 2 laser recipient-site preparation has been described involving a Short-pulsed CO 2 laser and Ultrapulse CO 2 laser equipped with a computerized pattern generator (CPG). [ 5 25 ] The CPG is an automatic scanning device which allows rapid and precise tissue ablation. [ 5 ] In both cases, one pass of the laser was sufficient to remove the epithelium.…”

“… 3 , 4 Oh CK et al suggested that subsequent thermal necrosis of CO2 laser does not affect satisfactory graft take, while Kahn et al demonstrated similar histology in skin graft adherence between the dermabrasion and CO2 laser. 11 , 12 However, Lee DY noted better graft uptake and faster repigmentatio n through mechanical removal of depigmented epidermis for preparation of the recipient site, compared with the CO2 laser. 13 Moreover, in practice, the CO2 laser causes homeostasis in the superficial microvasculature of the papillary dermis and thermal damage may lead to a thin, thermal necrotic layer beneath the grafted epidermis.…”

“…Area was covered with non-adherent antibiotic gauze dressing which was removed on the seventh day. The patient was put on either narrowband ultraviolet B (NbUVB) therapy or, if the patient was unable to visit hospital for this, psoralen photochemotherapy using natural sunlight (PUVAsol) was recommended 12 13 14 15 16 17 .…”
