Skin Graft

Full thickness graft: effective treatment for burns

A full thickness graft is a surgical procedure where a small piece of skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to another area. In this case, a 20 square centimeter graft is being taken from a donor site and transplanted to the hands or feet. This procedure is commonly used to treat burns, wounds, and other skin injuries. The full thickness graft involves taking the entire thickness of the skin, including the dermis and epidermis, which allows for better healing and a more natural appearance. Recovery time can vary depending on the size and location of the graft.
