Treating skin graft donor sites: a comparative study between remnant skin use and polyurethane foam.

Objective: Excess remnant skin is retained for use in additional grafting in case of split-thickness skin graft (STSG) failure. We hypothesise that regrafting with remnant skin offers greater efficacy and advantages in wound healing and donor site appearance.

Methods: Skin graft donor sites were assessed by comparing those regrafted with remnant skin with those treated with polyurethane foam dressing.
