| | Skin Grafts for Scar Management in Burn Victims |
 | | Skin flaps are a complex type of skin graft that attach donor skin and underlying tissue by surgically connecting blood supply from the wound to the transferred skin. | | | Skin flaps and other skin replacement methods are sometimes used in situations where standard skin grafts are not possible or where alternative methods are preferred. | | | Skin flaps, an advanced form of skin grafting, is a complex procedure in which skin, along with underlying fat, blood vessels and sometimes muscle, is moved from a healthy part of the body to the injured site. |

| | Most skin grafts are successful, but in some cases they don't heal well and require repeat grafting. | | | The best skin grafts come from the patient’s own skin (donor sites on other parts of the body). | | | This is a more complicated procedure in which a flap of skin with underlying muscle and blood supply is transplanted to the area to be grafted. |

| | Journal of Drugs in Dermatology: The history of skin grafts |
| | Today, there are many applications that utilize skin grafting: reconstruction after surgery; tissue replacement in burn victims and patients with epidermolysis bullosa; treatment of chronic ulcers; and hair restoration to areas of alopecia. | | | By the end of the century, Wolfe (13) had introduced full-thickness skin grafts into clinical practice to treat ectropion, and Girdner (14) had published the first report of skin grafting with human cadaveric skin. | | | While autologous skin grafts are still considered the gold standard, bioengineered skin substitutes offer a novel therapeutic alternative. |

| | eMedicine - Skin Grafting : Article by Donald Grande, MD |
| | As skin cancer continues to be prevalent, more defects will be produced in the surgical treatment of these tumors, and, as a consequence, individuals who perform cutaneous reconstructive surgery should acquire a thorough understanding of the techniques of skin grafting. | | | The technique of skin harvesting and transplantation was initially described approximately 2500-3000 years ago with the Hindu Tilemaker Caste, in which skin grafting was used to reconstruct noses that were amputated as a means of judicial punishment (Hauben, 1982). | | | Although the use of skin grafts is indicated primarily in reconstruction after surgical excision of malignancies, skin grafting has several other applications and considerations. |

| | However, if there is not enough skin on the body to provide graft coverage for another area on the same body, then skin may be harvested from outside sources. | | | Harvesting skin grafts can be painful, but anesthesia should prevent most pain during the procedure | | | Cosmetic results may vary, based on factors such as type of skin graft used, and area of recipient site. |
