Use of the electrosurgical knife and topical thrombin for hemostasis in split-thickness skin graft vestibuloplasty

Use of the electrosurgical knife and topical thrombin for hemostasis in split-thickness skin graft vestibuloplasty

D Forman et al. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1984 Nov.

Abstract

The use of electrocautery and topical thrombin at the donor and recipient sites has decreased most of the oozing normally present in skin graft vestibuloplasty procedures. It has effectively reduced operating room time, has significantly reduced post-operative morbidity, and has shortened both hospital stay and recovery time for the patient.
