Skin Grafting
Skin grafting is a medical procedure used to treat wounds, burns, or skin loss by transplanting skin from one area of the body to another. The skin can be taken from the patient, known as an autograft, or from a donor, called an allograft. This technique helps promote healing and restore the skin's appearance.
During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes a thin layer of skin from the donor site and places it over the affected area. The graft adheres to the underlying tissue, allowing new blood vessels to form and facilitating healing. Skin grafting is often essential for recovery in severe injuries.
