Summary

The repairing of various wounds is always a great challenge in burn surgery and plastic surgery. Skin-grafting is the main therapy. Bolster dressings are traditionally applied to secure the graft to the wound bed, however, there is some evidence to show that irregularly contoured recipient sites, poorly healing areas, reduce the success rate of skin-grafting with traditional bolster dressings, increasing morbidity, pain. Negative pressure wound therapy has been advocated as a potential solution to some of these issues. To further test the healing rate and safety of this new method, the investigators propose a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare this method with traditional bolster dressings application in skin-grafting.
