Skin grafting: In skin grafting procedure healthy skin is removed from an unaffected area of the body and used to cover lost or damaged skin due to various causes.
Skin grafting is commonely used for chronic nonhealing skin ulcers, to replace tissue lost in full-thickness burns, or injury,etc.
There are two types of skin grafts. split-thickness grafts has just a few outer layers of skin and full-thickness grafts, which involve all of the full thickness dermis.
For harvesting a skin graft, a special skin-cutting instrument known as a Dermatome is used. It removes the skin from the donor site ,usually hidden by clothing such as the buttocks or inner thigh. The removed graft is placed on the area in need of covering and held in place by a dressing and stitches or staples. The donor site heals in two weeks. Skin graft healing takes 10-14 days.
Pressure garments , splints, moisturisers & physiotherapy is advised for better function & cosmesis of grafted skin.
