Brief Summary:
This study is to determine what dressing would work best to heal and keep from hurting, the split-thickness skin graft donor site which will be done as part of the patient's surgical procedure. Currently there is a dressing that is transparent and it is placed on the wound after surgery and wrapped with gauze and an elastic bandage. Two days after the surgery the gauze and elastic bandages are removed and the area is left with the transparent dressing. Sometimes the dressing needs to be changed because it leaks. On the fifth day this dressing is removed and the wound is left open to air. The dressing researchers are studying is a dressing that has been used for different types of wounds, as well as this type of wound. It is applied in the same manner; however, it is left in place until it falls off independently, usually around post-operative (post-op) day 10.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Which dressing type and technique is most effective in minimizing pain and inflammation and promoting epithelialization in patients who have had surgery which requires the use of an anterior thigh split-thickness skin graft?
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive transparent film dressing (otolaryngology service) or Xeroform petroleum gel impregnated gauze dressing (surgical oncology service) after surgery.
ARM II: Patients receive native collagen wound dressing after surgery.
