GlossarySplit-Thickness Skin Grafting (STSG)

involves transplanting the top skin layers from one body area to another

Split-Thickness Skin Grafting (STSG) involves taking the top layers of skin, including the epidermis and part of the dermis, from a donor site on the patient's body and transplanting it to a different area that needs coverage, such as a wound or burn. This type of grafting is commonly used because it can cover large areas and typically heals well at both the donor and recipient sites.
