Abstract
Abstract Background: Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is one of the basic modalities for wound cover. Sometimes donor site becomes painful and leaves a second wound or scar which may take longer time to cure than the primary graft site itself. Epidermal grafting (Blister graft/Suction graft) is an alternative method of skin grafting in which we apply continuous negative pressure on the skin to harvest the epidermal layer of the skin. This procedure leaves minimal donor site morbidity or scar and is relatively less painful. It can be done on an outpatient basis. In our study, we try to compare STSG and Epidermal grafts and the mechanism by which each technique achieves wound healing.
