2023年7月25日 · Split-thickness skin grafts are versatile adjuncts to wound closure in burns, trauma, reconstruction, and other large wounds. This activity outlines and explains the role of the healthcare team in managing patients who undergo split-thickness skin grafting for various etiologies. Objectives:

2023年7月25日 · Split-thickness skin grafts classify according to their thickness into thin STSGs (0.15 to 0.3mm), intermediate STSGs (0.3 to 0.45mm), and thick STSGs (0.45 to 0.6mm). Because split-thickness skin graft donor sites retain portions of the dermis, including dermal appendages, the donor site can regrow new skin in 2 to 3 weeks.

2023年8月1日 · Full thickness skin grafts (FTSG) have lower occurrence of post-graft contracture than split thickness skin grafts (STSG). FTSGs have are associated with less need of surgical release of post-graft contractures. STSGs are associated …

2023年7月10日 · Epidermal appendages play a critical role in re-epithelialization after epidermal or superficial dermal injury, including healing of split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites.

Split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) are thin, including epidermis and a small portion of dermis. leaving behind enough of the dermis for the donor site to heal by reepithelialization. As a result, these grafts can survive on less than ideal recipient beds (with less vascularity).

2021年11月1日 · Understanding the true burden of donor sites may drive innovative treatments that would reduce the use of STSGs and address the associated morbidities. 1. Introduction.

Split thickness skin grafts (STSG) are a well-known and widely accepted method for soft tissue coverage of open wounds (6). Historically, this technique has had a significant role in burn wounds and plastic surgery reconstruction, but has also been used successfully in the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers (7 – 9).

STSG- better survival but more contraction and potential pigmentation change. Donor site heals through re-epithelialization, which can cause discomfort. FTSG- higher metabolic needs of thicker graft causes higher rates of flap failure, but are a better color match and contract less. Donor site is usually closed primarily.

2020年7月17日 · Skin grafting is defined as transplantation of skin and, often, the adnexal structures from one region of the body to another. Depending on the type of defect, split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) or full-thickness skin grafting (FTSG) may be required. A STSG includes epidermis and a thin layer of dermis.
