Skin Grafts

Skin grafts are medical procedures where healthy skin is transplanted to a wound or damaged area on the body. This is typically done to help heal burns, surgical wounds, or areas with skin loss due to injury or disease. The graft can come from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft). The new skin helps to protect the underlying tissues, prevent infection, and promote healing. Successful grafts integrate with the surrounding skin, restoring function and appearance. Overall, skin grafts are a vital tool in reconstructive surgery and wound care.
