title: Stapled tie-over stent: a simplified technique for pressure dressings on newly applied split-thickness skin grafts.
abstract: A simplified technique for simultaneously securing a skin graft and applying a stented pressure dressing is described. This method provides good fixation and immobilization of the graft. It is less time-consuming than previously described methods, and it is easier to perform.
