There are a limited number of reports related to the direct use of non-centrifuged adipose tissue graft in the literature. This preliminary study aims to present our experience on the efficacy of autologous fat graft use without centrifuging in the treatment of lower extremity wounds.
16 wounds treated with non-centrifuged autologous fat grafts were included in the study. The data were retrospectively analyzed. VAC (vacuum-assisted therapy) or silver-impregnated dressing was used to achieve a healthy wound bed before fat grafting. Autologous fat grafts were harvested from abdominal or gluteal regions of the patients and injected into the wound bed and wound environment. Clinical observation and photograph records were used to follow the wounds.

Wounds examination
Collection of the data from clinical observation and photograph records were made to follow the wounds. the observations were made during changing the wound dressing and generally every three days.
