Abstract
Background: Contour wounds that require skin graft closure are frequently situated in unique or complicated anatomical areas, making it difficult and inefficient to stabilize them
using traditional bolsters.
Objective: The aim of this work is to compare vacuumassisted closure (VAC) with Conventional bolster dressing in
terms of graft take, histology of wound healing, hospitalization
duration, and expenses.
