Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the outcomes of vacuum assisted closure device versus conventional bolster dressing in securing split thickness skin graft in traumatic wounds; with emphasis on percentage of graft take and postoperative complications like hematoma, seroma and infection of graft site. Two groups were formed with 70 patients in each group. Patients were randomly allocated either to group A(VAC group) or group B(bolster dressing group) and outcomes were assessed on 5th post-operative day when first dressing change was done
