View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is a cornerstone of reconstructive surgery, but donor sites often experience significant morbidity due to partial-thickness wounds created. Accelerating the re-epithelialization of these donor sites is crucial for minimizing complications. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has shown potential in enhancing the re-epithelialization of donor site wounds. However, further research is needed to compare NPWT's efficacy against conventional normal pressure dressings comprehensively. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of NPWT with conventional dressings in promoting skin graft donor sites healing.
