According
to Merriam-Webster, Skin
Grafting is defined as “A piece of skin that is
surgically removed from a donor area to replace skin in a defective or denuded
area (as one that has been burned).”
Removal
ad transplantation of healthy skin from one area of the body to another is
known as skin grafting. This procedure is used when the skin is damaged badly;
this is a probable treatment of renewing the skin.
Layer
skin graft and full thickness skin graft are two types of skin grafting. The
first one takes a thin layer away from a healthy part of the human body.
Whereas the second type f skin grafting is more risky as it totally depends
upon the conditions of the skin.
There
are various risk factors involved in skin grafting surgery. Some of them
include nerve damage, bleeding, infection, loss of grafted skin etc.
Usually
these surgeries are successful, but it’s not guaranteed that the patients would
fully recover, which increases the chances of re-grafting of the skin. Regular
monitoring of the skin graft for good circulation is of the utmost importance
in such cases.
