    Summary

    Skin grafting remains a key surgical technique for soft tissue reconstruction. Full-thickness skin grafts offer superior functional and aesthetic outcomes compared to split-thickness grafts, especially for facial reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Context:

    • Skin grafting is a foundational surgical procedure.
    • It remains essential for soft tissue reconstruction despite advancements like microsurgery.

    Purpose:

    • To review the indications, techniques, donor site considerations, complications, and results of different skin graft types.
    • To compare the functional and aesthetic outcomes of full-thickness and split-thickness skin grafts.

    Summary:

    • Skin grafts are classified into full-thickness, split-thickness, and composite types.
    • Full-thickness grafts, often harvested from the upper arm or postauricular area, are applied using tie-over dressings for facial and cervical reconstruction.
    • Full-thickness skin grafts demonstrate better results in terms of morbidity, elasticity, sensitivity, matching, and scar recurrence compared to split-thickness grafts.

    Impact:

    • Full-thickness skin grafting is identified as the most adequate technique for achieving optimal functional and aesthetic results in reconstructive surgery.
    • Highlights the enduring utility of traditional techniques in modern surgical practice.
