Does anyone know anything about skin grafts? How long you stay in the hospital? Does it hurt? What am I to expect? I am having a skin graft on Wednesday on my shin from a wound that is 1 inch wide and 2 1/2 inches long. The donor site will be my butt. Thank you!
Skin graft?
Skin graft is remove the superficial layer of the skin and transfer to the desire area for promoting healing. Sometimes the doc might want to use a surgical staple to hold the thin skin to your shin. Not much of post ops pain however I would recommend to change the dressing post ops in a week time. reason being the buttock skin is raw and will stick to dressing. It will be painful if the dressing is change early. by a week time.
Skin graft?
yeah skin grafts are extra flabs of skin that doctors use to repair burnt off parts of skin i guess it would hurt. and they use skin from ur butt and stuff so yeah sucks for u.
Reply:My husband had one done as out patient surgery. It wasn't bad and he actually started feeling better after a day or two because he didnt have a big open wound anymore. Good luck
