Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Healing time(Defined as time elapsed between split thickness skin graft harvest and complete donor-site reepithelialization). Timepoint: Examination on 4, 8 days and weekly until the dressing is completely removed? after surgery. Method of measurement: Examination? Metric Grid Tracing. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain(An unpleasant sensation associated with tissue damage). Timepoint: Four and eight days after surgery. Method of measurement: Visual analogue scale(VAS).;Scar durability(The final result of the surgical site). Timepoint: Three and six months after beginning of intervention. Method of measurement: Vancouver scar scale (VSS).;Infection: Defined as the presence of replicating microorganisms within a wound leading. Timepoint: Before the intervention, If necessary, on 4, 8 days after surgery. Method of measurement: Examination, Wound Culture.;Percentage of epithelialization(The amount of wound healing was recorded based on the percentage of epithelialization). Timepoint: Four and eight days after surgery. Method of measurement: Metric grid tracing(Calculation of the ratio of the surface area of the epithelialized parts to the total surface area of the donor site). | — |
