Injerto de piel - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Trasplante de piel; Autoinjerto de piel; Injerto de piel de grosor parcial; Injerto de piel de grosor total; FTSG; STSG

Después del procedimiento:

Usted debe recuperarse rápidamente después del injerto de piel de grosor parcial, excepto en casos de quemaduras graves. El injerto de piel se debe proteger contra trauma, como golpearlo o estirarlo mucho, durante al menos 2 a 3 semanas.

Dependiendo de la localización del injerto, se puede necesitar un apósito por 1 a 2 semanas. Evite el ejercicio que podría estirar o lesionar el injerto por 3 a 4 semanas. Algunas personas necesitan fisioterapia después del injerto de piel.

Los injertos de grosor total necesitan un período de recuperación más largo. La mayoría de las personas con estos injertos necesitan permanecer en el hospital por 1 a 2 semanas.

Pronóstico:

Los nuevos vasos sanguíneos comienzan a crecer al cabo de 36 horas. La mayoría de los injertos de piel son efectivos, pero algunos no sanan bien y puede ser necesario un segundo injerto.
