Application of modified vacuum sealing drainage in reconstruction of free flap donor-site defects with full-thickness skin graft

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the application value of modified vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in free flap donor-site defects with full-thickness skin graft in patients with oral cancer. METHODS: Thirty patients with oral cancer underwent free flap reconstruction and treated with modified VSD after full-thickness skin graft, while 20 cases were treated with conventional pressure-packing. SPSS 20.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS: The healing time after skin graft of the modified VSD group was significantly shorter than the traditional packing group, and the incidence of infection, edema and wound edge spliting in the modified VSD group was significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Modified VSD has a good effect in the donor area with free skin flap transplantation after oral cancer ablation. It is cost-effective and worthy of clinical application and promotion.
