Abstract:
:Several researches have shown that negative-pressure wound dressings can secure split-thickness skin grafts and improve graft survival. However, in anatomically difficult body regions such as the perineum it is questionable whether these dressings have similar beneficial effects. In this study, we evaluated the effects of negative-pressure wound dressings on split-thickness skin grafts in the perineum by comparing wound healing rate and complication rate with that of tie-over dressings. A retrospective chart review was performed for the patients who underwent a split-thickness skin graft to reconstruct perineal skin defects between January 2007 and December 2011. After grafting, the surgeon selected patients to receive either a negative-pressure dressing or a tie-over dressing. In both groups, the initial dressing was left unchanged for 5 days, then changed to conventional wet gauze dressing. Graft success was assessed 2 weeks after surgery by a single clinician. A total of 26 patients were included in this study. The mean age was 56·6 years and the mean wound size was 273·1 cm(2). Among them 14 received negative-pressure dressings and 12 received tie-over dressings. Negative-pressure dressing group had higher graft taken rate (P = 0·036) and took shorter time to complete healing (P = 0·01) than tie-over dressing group. The patients with negative-pressure dressings had a higher rate of graft success and shorter time to complete healing, which has statistical significance. Negative-pressure wound dressing can be a good option for effective management of skin grafts in the perineum.
