A skin graft is a piece of healthy skin taken from one part of your body and transplanted to another part of your body to replace damaged or missing skin. This skin does not have a blood supply of its own. A skin flap is a piece of healthy skin and tissue that has been partially removed and repositioned to cover a wound.
- Skin and fat, or skin, fat, and muscle, can be found in a skin flap.
- A skin flap is frequently still attached to its original place on one end and connected to a blood artery on the other.
- A flap is sometimes transferred to a different location and the blood vessel is surgically rejoined. This is referred to as a free flap.
Skin grafts are used to aid in the healing of more serious, larger, and deeper wounds, such as:
- Larger wounds that won’t heal on their own
- Burns
- A significant skin infection has caused skin loss.
- Surgical treatment for skin cancer
- Unhealed venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, or diabetic ulcers
- Following a mastectomy
The donor site is the location from which skin is extracted. You will have two wounds after surgery: the graft or flap itself and the donor site. Donor sites for grafts and flaps are chosen based on the following criteria:
- The degree to which the skin resembles the wound region
- The distance between the donor location and the wound
- Due to newly exposed nerve endings, the donor site is frequently more painful than the wound following surgery.
