Abstract
- PURPOSE
We compared wound healing between the conventional tie-over dressing and silicone sheeting after skin grafting in patients with skin defects.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Of a total of 30 cases of skin defects, 15 underwent conventional tie-over dressing and the remaining 15 underwent silicone sheeting skin grafting, we compared hematoma formation and infection status between the 2 techniques 1 and 2 weeks after operation.
RESULTS
