2023年7月24日 · Optimal donor skin should closely match color, thickness, the degree of actinic damage, and texture of the skin surrounding the defect. Advantages of FTSGs are that they do not alter the architecture of the recipient site and are relatively easy for …

FTSG from the groin to repair soft tissue defects in reconstruction surgery is a good method due to the relatively big size of the graft, decreasing morbidity at the donor site, and higher graft survival rates.

A number of donor sites for skin grafts are available in most individuals, depending on the location and size of the facial defect. Donor sites include upper eyelid, forehead, melolabial fold, and preauricular, postauricular, and supraclavicular areas (Fig. 15-12).

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 …

When used appropriately, the full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) makes for a simple and aesthetically acceptable reconstruction option for nasal defects. Defects of the nasal sidewall and dorsum are well suited for FTSG provided that conscientious skin matching and surgical technique are undertaken.

In this article we introduce this relatively new donor site of FTSG with new application as FTSG is the second step in reconstructive ladder. The aim of this article is to reintroduce a simple reconstructive surgical technique well known by all plastic surgeons, safely into a new horizon of application dimensions, with almost unlimited extents ...

Our objective was to review various approaches to management of full-thickness skin grafts, including suturing the graft, securing the graft, and topical emollient use on the graft postoperatively. It was found that absorbable sutures, plain gut, provide preferable outcomes with full-thickness skin grafts.

2010年11月16日 · An FTSG donor site should be planned in an elliptical shape to simplify direct closure. After an apropriate size has been determined, an ovoid of skin is excised from predetermined area with the axis in the direction of minimal tension.

2021年5月17日 · A skin graft is an avascular dermal tissue used to cover well-perfused dermal defects. The graft is most commonly autologous and can be either split-thickness or full …

2020年10月1日 · 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. These grafts tend to have a less cosmetic outcome and more contracture, but the donor site can heal by secondary intention.
