skin transplantation

Skin transplantation is a medical procedure where healthy skin from one part of a person's body (or a donor) is transferred to cover and heal a damaged or burnt area. The goal is to protect underlying tissues, reduce infection risk, and promote healing. There are different types, such as autografts (from the same person), allografts (from a donor), and synthetic options. Before the transplant, the recipient site is prepared, and the graft is carefully attached and secured. Over time, the transplanted skin integrates with the surrounding tissue, helping restore the skin's protective and functional role.
