Abstract

Skin grafting frequently results in scarring at the donor site. A number of factors, including the patient’s age and gender, have previously been connected to donor site scar satisfaction. Patient opinions regarding scarring at donor sites are not well documented. Physicians may be able to provide perioperative care that reduces the possible negative effects of donor site scarring if they have a thorough understanding of patient attitudes and the associated factors. Our study aims to identify factors associated with donor site scarring satisfaction and investigate patient perceptions of their scars using quantitative scar assessment tools.
