Skin Grafting and Reconstruction

Skin grafting is a medical procedure that involves taking a piece of healthy skin from one area of the body and transplanting it to another area that has been damaged, such as from burns, injuries, or surgeries. This helps promote healing and restore the skin’s appearance. Reconstruction in this context refers to the broader surgical efforts to rebuild or repair damaged skin and underlying tissues, aiming to restore function and aesthetics. Together, these techniques are crucial in treating severe wounds, enhancing recovery, and improving the quality of life for patients.
