OBJECTIVES: To summarize the existing evidence and provide recommendations for the most effective management of partial-thickness graft donor sites in adults, with the goals of enhancing re-epithelialization, reducing pain, and preventing infection.

METHODOLOGY: Umbrella review. A systematic search was conducted encompassing databases such as Pubmed, CUIDEN, Cochrane Library, CINHAL Plus, SCOPUS, and LILACS. The search targeted systematic reviews published since 2011 that focused on examining the effectiveness of different approaches for the treatment of partial-thickness graft donor sites. Reviews with a low critical appraisal score according to AMSTAR 2 were excluded. The included reviews were evaluated using the SIGN scale to assess the level of evidence and grade the recommendations.

RESULTS: Five systematic reviews with meta-analysis were incorporated in the analysis. Platelet-rich plasma and human amniotic membrane demonstrated statistically significant improvements in re-epithelialization and pain reduction when compared to the control group. Moreover, platelet-rich plasma also exhibited a decrease in wound infection rates. Recombinant human growth hormone was found to expedite the re-epithelialization process.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings, the use of platelet-rich plasma is recommended to enhance re-epithelialization, alleviate pain, and reduce infection in partial-thickness graft donor sites among adults. Application of human amniotic membrane is recommended to accelerate re-epithelialization and alleviate pain, while recombinant human growth hormone is suggested to expedite the overall healing time of these wounds.
