open debridement

One of my surgeries was for scar tissue was Oct 10, 2007. This was an open debridement and a procedure I had never heard of called, a Proximal Z-plasty.  The open debridement began with a 6 inch incision thru my previous incision. This incision has been opened up 8 times. Scar tissue was removed anteriorly, infrapatellar, medially. After this debridement, the doctor went on to perform a proximal z-plasty.
