Skin Graft: Procedure, Uses, Types, and Recovery
A skin graft is a surgical procedure in which healthy skin is removed from one area of the body and transplanted to another area that has been damaged or lost skin due to injury, burns, infections, or surgery. It is a widely used reconstructive technique that helps restore both the protective function and appearance of the skin.

A skin graft involves taking skin from a donor site (a healthy part of the patient’s body) and placing it over a wound or defect area. The transplanted skin then attaches to the surrounding tissue and begins to grow new blood vessels. This process helps the wound heal when it cannot close on its own.
