title: [Our experience with hydro-debridement in varied skin lesions. Technical and innovating advance in pediatric surgery].
abstract: We present our experience in the use of Hydrosurgery with debridement of necrotic tissues from skin wounds in children. The Hydrosurgery system uses a high velocity stream of sterile saline solution, which can be controlled according to the state of the lesion. We have used this system in 15 patients suffering from a wide range of pathologies (burns, severe traumatic wounds, skin necrosis etc), achieving its complete resolution in shorter period of time. This method is an innovative technique in the management of patients with acute o r chronic skin lesions that require periodic procedures.
