To study and discuss role of external tissue expansion and wound closure (ETEWC) technique using hooks and rubber bands.
The present study is a retrospective analysis of nine cases of wounds of different aetiology where ETEWC technique was applied using hooks and rubber bands.
All the wounds in the study healed completely without split thickness skin graft (SSG) or flap.
ETEWC technique using hooks and rubber bands is a cost-effective technique which can be used for wound closure without SSG or flap.
