Summary

This study tested whether applying the numbing medicine ropivacaine to a skin graft donor site can lower pain after surgery. 58 adults who needed a small skin graft were randomly assigned to get either ropivacaine or a saltwater solution on their wound dressing. The main goal was to see if ropivacaine reduced the need for painkillers.
