Purpose: Skin grafting is used for the transfer of cutaneous tissue from one site of the body to another. To improve graft survival, close contact between the graft and the wound bed is essential for vessels to grow across the gap. Here, we introduce an easy and efficient dressing method to improve graft survival. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed to identify patients who underwent split thickness skin graft and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or conventional treatment between January 2007 and April 2015. Overall, 25 consecutive patients were included in the NPWT group and 49 were included in the conventional dressing group to compare the outcome of the procedure. The data were obtained from medical records, including age, sex, cause of the skin defect, size of graft, time for healing, wound preparation time, and complications. Results: Of the NPWT group, the average wound size was $147.04{\pm}146.74cm^2$ (range, $9{\sim}900cm^2$). With the exception of one patient, all wounds healed without the need for further procedure. The average duration of time required for the NPWT group, which was defined as removal of stitches (or staples) and no need for additional active dressing, was $6.4{\pm}1.97days$ (range, 5~15 days). The average time for the conventional dressing group was $10.78{\pm}2.38days$ (range, 5~15 days). Conclusion: NPWT can be used to cover regions in which wound healing does not occur fully or when neither tie-over nor compressive dressings are applicable. This treatment also reduced wound healing time and allowed earlier patient mobilization and hospital discharge.

제안 방법
To compare the outcome of graft survival, we reviewed the 49 patients that were treated with skin graft and conventional bolster dressing in the same period. The data were obtained from the medical records, including age, sex, cause of the skin defect, graft size, removal timing of stitches or staples, wound preparing duration (if delayed reconstruction was performed), and complications. Wound preparing duration was defined period from the initial occurred wound time to the performing skin graft.
The wound size measurement was performed by multiplying the perpendicular width and length of the wound with flexible ruler placed on it. Graft survival assessment was determined by the gross morphology of skin graft such as color, texture, capillary refill time and epithelization of wound margin and slit incision.

A retrospective chart review was performed to identify patients who underwent split-thickness skin grafting and NPWT dressing for reconstruction of skin defect between January 2007 and April 2015. Twenty-five consecutive patients were included in this study. To compare the outcome of graft survival, we reviewed the 49 patients that were treated with skin graft and conventional bolster dressing in the same period.
