Abstract

A skin autograft is described as the transfer of skin without the aid of a blood supply from the donor location to the recipient site. The epidermis and portions of the underlying dermis from the donor location are transferred using split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs). The whole layer of skin is harvested for full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) and used as the transplant. The installation methods and usage of STSGs are discussed above. Graft movement, which impedes neovascularization and promotes fluid accumulation under the transplant, which can result in infection and inadequate revascularization, is the key factor in skin graft failure.
