Skin graft and donor-site follow-up.

What the care plan considers

Recovery after a skin graft should stay connected to the procedural clinician’s instructions. Gateway reviews referrals for wound follow-up at the grafted area and, when applicable, the donor site.

• Review of the procedure and aftercare instructions
• Observation of healing and changes in the wound
• Coordination of dressing requirements with the treating team
• Communication when further surgical assessment is needed
