    GlossarySkin Grafts (skin transplant)

    transplantation of healthy skin to a damaged area

    Skin grafts, also known as skin transplantation or dermal grafts, involve taking healthy skin from one part of the body (donor site) and transplanting it to a damaged or missing skin area (recipient site). This procedure is commonly used to treat extensive wounds, burns, or areas of significant skin loss due to surgery or trauma. The graft helps promote healing, reduce the risk of infection, and improve the appearance and function of the affected area.
