Large open wounds accompanied by tissue loss is a huge medical challenge in conflict zones. They result from blunt trauma caused by blasts and building collapse or from bed ulcers in quadriplegic patients. They range from 10 to 50 cm in diameter with penetration down to bone. The wound is left unclosed for several weeks to months until it develops enough blood supply to become ready for closure. It requires daily dressing changes, which is very painful and can easily be infected and complicated.
