dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Ulcer is a break in the continuity of covering epithelium either in skin or on mucous membrane. Chronic nonhealing ulcers are not just a medical challenge but have social, occupational and economic ramifications. The burden of disease is 6–25% (worldwide). The causes of such ulcers are varied with a multitude of factors influencing the outcome. The ultimate desire of physicians and patients alike is minimal duration of treatment, hospital stay, costs, and early return to the occupation. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally. This study was conducted for a period of 2 years 2 months from August 2014 to October 2016. The patients presented with ulcer in the Department of Surgery, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally. Results: Results were compared with other studies which are similar to our study in terms of patient compliance, wound contraction, healing time, scar, and split skin graft. In the present study, 84% of patients had good compliance with collagen dressings which were similar to study conducted by Nayak et al. 2011; wound contraction was present in 74% of cases which are comparable to study of Nayak et al. which showed wound contraction in 92% patients and 80.60% in study of Donahue VM.[10] Healing time is also comparable to other studies which were 2.82 weeks in the present study; 1.08 weeks in the study of Nayak et al. and 2–3 weeks in the study of Joshi et al. Conclusions: This study was conducted to find out the efficacy of collagen in healing of ulcers. Results were compared with conventional dressing, and we found that collagen is a better dressing material for wound healing. Because of a simple method of application, better tolerance, non-allergic, safe and enhances wound healing; hence, collagen can be recommended as a temporary biological dressing materialen_US
