Figure3 demonstrates wound grade distribution at days 0, 7, and 14 for
both control and Sucralfate group. There were no statistically
differences in the 2-week interval. The majority of the patients started
with grade 3 wound however, only 15.4% achieved grade 0 (complete
epithelialization) in the 2-week postoperative follow up.
Overall mean wound length at baseline of both groups was 1.57 cm with
normal distribution. Figure4 demonstrates wound length reduction over
time. In the Sucralfate group, mean wound length slightly decreased more
between groups but was not statistically different on either day7 or
day14.
No adverse reaction of Sucralfate was reported. Some patients comment on
the administration frequency needed to reapply.
