Skin Grafts
A skin graft is a surgical procedure that involves transferring skin from one area of the body to another. This technique is often used to treat wounds, burns, or areas of skin loss due to injury or disease. The graft can be taken from the patient’s own body, known as an autograft, or from a donor, referred to as an allograft.
The success of a skin graft depends on various factors, including the type of graft used and the condition of the recipient site. After the procedure, proper care is essential to promote healing and prevent infection. Skin grafts can help restore function and improve the appearance of damaged skin.
