Tissue collection
from donor area results in a wound that must be sutured. Many
elements contribute to leaving the scar as invisible as possible.
Most frequently occurring complications in the donor area include:
early and late haemorrhages, infections, skin necrosis, pain and
paresthesia in the wound and scar area, visible scarring, wide
scars, alopecia in the scar area.
Most frequent errors which result in complications in donor area
are the following:
 incisions
inappropriately placed
too high
(visible scar, deficient follicles)
too low
(wide visible scar)
incisions
too deep
damage to
occipital or temporal vessels
damaged
nerves pain and paresthesia
incisions
too wide
problems
in suturing the wound
high
tension on the edges of the wound (unsightly wide scar, alopecia
in donor area)
pain more
acutely perceived
inappropriate dressing of the bleeding vessels
inadequate dressing (early and late haemorrhages)
excessive
coagulation (paresthesia, hair loss in scar area)
vessel
ligation too deep (hair loss above the scar, pain and paresthesia)
inadequate asepsis, high tension in the edges of the wound
(infection, skin necrosis).
