Aalborg University Hospital172 enrolled

Overview

Patients who were referred to cutaneous surgery and needed full thickness or split skin grafting and using antitrombotic or non-antitrombotic therapies were observed. Data on patient characteristics, diagnosis, location of surgery and surgery performed, antithrombotic medication and complications in skin grafts were collected. Skin grafts were traced on a transparent film and areas of unhealed skin graft were marked

Use of anticoagulants is common and practice regarding continuation or discontinuation of the medication peri-operatively for cutaneous surgery lacks evidence-based consensus. Therefore, patients who were referred to cutaneous surgery and needed full thickness or split skin grafting and using antitrombotic or non-antitrombotic therapies were observed. Data on patient characteristics, diagnosis, location of surgery and surgery performed, antithrombotic medication and complications in skin grafts were collected. Skin grafts were traced on a transparent film and areas of unhealed skin graft were marked
