This video is an informative animated presentation that explains in detail about skin graft. Your surgeon will perform a skin graft operation to repair badly damaged or missing skin by transplanting healthy skin to the site of the damaged skin. In some cases the skin has become so damaged that it will not heal properly. Your doctor may recommend a skin transplantation to repair many skin conditions including a wound that doesn’t heal, a severe burn, skin ulcer, skin biopsy, a large surgical wound, or skin infection. If your surgeon is using your own healthy skin called an auto-graft, he or she may create a split thickness skin graft or a full-thickness skin graft, depending on the depth of skin that your graft needs to cover. After cleaning the area of healthy skin called the donor site, your surgeon will use an instrument called a dermatome for a skin removal operation in which they will remove very thin slices of your skin, creating split-thickness skin graft. For full-thickness skin graft, your surgeon will use a scalpel to remove all the layers of at the donor site. Watch the video to know more about skin graft surgery.
