Efficient & Effective Ways to Manage Lower Extremity Wounds

Watch On Demand

Lower extremity reconstruction can be challenging and costly for both the patient and healthcare system.

Two recent retrospective studies, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery by Stephen J. Kovach, M.D., FACS, and John P. Fischer, M.D., MPH, FACS, compared the effectiveness and cost of three modalities commonly used for complex lower extremity reconstruction: Integra® Bilayer Wound Matrix, local tissue rearrangement and free flap.

In this webinar, Drs. Stephen J. Kovach and John P. Fischer present study data as well as their clinical insight and case examples to discuss:

  • The correlation between surgical outcomes and specific patient populations
  • The impact of cost, operating room time and patient length of stay between each modality
