Skin Grafting
  • By Andrew Kent

What is Skin Grafting?
  • Skin Grafting, is plainly the reconstruction of
    an area of epidermis (skin) for any sort of
    defect in that area. A section of the epidermis
    is taken from one area and simply replaced in
    another harmed area.

History of Skin Grafting

    BC, but more commonly in the 19th century.

Skin Grafting Used For (commonly)
  • Cutaneous malignancies.
  • Non-healing cutaneous ulcers.
  • Replace tissue lost in full-thickness burns.
  • Restore areas of hair loss.
  • Repaired areas where skin cancer surgery has
    taken placed.

Skin Graphing in Detail
  • Split-Thickness- between 0.008mm to
    0.030mm(surface wounds)
  • Full-Thickness- Tissue, muscle
  • and skin. (lack of tissue
  • and/or exposed bone/cartilage )

Where the skin is taken
  • Split-thickness (buttocks, legs, back, chest,
    pretty much anywhere)
  • Full-Thickness (nasal tip, helical rim, forehead,
    eyelids, and digits.)
  • Autografts, Allografts,
  • and Xenografts.

How it works
  • The section of epidermis is surgically placed
    into the wound. Plasma and blood send nutrients
    to the newly attached skin, till vascular buds
    begin to thrive. Lymphatics develop and vascular
    bridge truly connects the new skin, as well as
    epithelium tissue grow, connecting it further.
