Summary
Split-thickness skin grafting is the current standard of care for the reconstructive
procedures in managing burn injuries and traumatic tissue defects. Harvesting split-thickness
skin creates a new partial thickness wound that is referred to as the donor site . Donor site
pain is one of the most distressing symptoms reported by patients in the early postoperative
period. Larger donor sites stimulate a greater number of pain receptors and consequently pain
is proportional to the size of the graft harvested.Often, the donor site is reported to be
more painful than the recipient site,affecting early mobilization, sleep, and need for
analgesics postoperatively.
