COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Tie-over dressings in full-thickness skin grafts.
Dermatologic Surgery : Official Publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et Al.] 2008 January
BACKGROUND: A full-thickness skin graft is often performed by tie-over dressing to compress and immobilize it.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the results of a full-thickness skin graft with tie-over dressing performed with the classic technique and with simple dressing.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: This was a prospective study in which 25 patients had tulle gras jelly tie-over dressing and 25 patients had a simple tulle gras dressing after full-thickness skin graft for nipple areola reconstruction.
RESULTS: Graft success on the fifth day was evaluated at 100% for patients with a simple dressing and at 99% for those with tie-over dressing.
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, simple dressing appeared to be at least as effective as the tie-over dressing. Simple dressing, however, was faster and left fewer residual marks than the tie-over dressing.
