Abstract
Background and Objectives: Skin grafting is an important method of resurfacing for raw areas. Tie over dressing with bolster and conventional gauze dressing have been used for the purpose of securing the graft. This study is performed to compare their efficacy and complications. Material and Methods: A longitudinal study of 18 patients requiring skin grafting with tie over dressing and conventional dressing were selected for the study. A follow up was done to study and compare the complications in the subjects. Results: The frequency of complications in tie over dressing was 11.1% in seroma, hematoma, wound infection, miscellaneous and mixed complications which was lower than the conventional dressing which had 22.2% in hematoma and graft loss (more than 5%) and 11.1% in seroma, wound infection, soakage, miscellaneous and mixed complications.
