Skin graft

A skin graft is where a segment of skin is completely removed from the body to be re-implanted at a different site. A skin graft is advisable where large portion of skin are lost due to a trauma or for instance for a mass removal. Graft protection in the post operative period is crucial for the surviving of the flap, this is usually done via a bandage which is changed every 24-48 hours. Full or sparse hair growth is usually noticed within 3 weeks after grafting.
