Skin Graft

A skin graft is a procedure in which skin from one area of the body, and adding it to another that has been significantly damaged. Individuals who obtain skin grafts are commonly burn victims, or have undergone a severe trauma that has significantly damaged the skin in a particular area of the body. One of the first people known to have benefited from this procedure is called Walter Yeo, and was severely damaged during war. Sir Harold Gillies, who used pedicle flaps to transplant the skin, performed his surgery. Skin grafts can significantly improve the appearance of one’s skin who has undergone severe damage.
