Summary

Split-thickness skin grafting is the current standard of care for the reconstructive procedures in managing burn injuries and traumatic tissue defects. Harvesting split-thickness skin creates a new partial thickness wound that is referred to as the donor site . Donor site pain is one of the most distressing symptoms reported by patients in the early postoperative period. Larger donor sites stimulate a greater number of pain receptors and consequently pain is proportional to the size of the graft harvested.Often, the donor site is reported to be more painful than the recipient site,affecting early mobilization, sleep, and need for analgesics postoperatively.
