Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Reconstruction

Context:

  • Surgical defect closure presents a choice between flap and graft techniques.
  • Reconstruction strategies must be individualized based on defect location and patient condition.
  • Advancements in skin expanders and diverse flap techniques enhance surgical options.

Purpose:

  • To review the different types of skin grafts used in surgical defect closure.
  • To compare the functional and cosmetic outcomes of various grafting methods.
  • To highlight critical factors for successful skin grafting and aesthetic results.

Summary:

  • Skin grafting techniques include split-thickness, full-thickness, and composite grafts.
  • Split-thickness grafts are suitable for functional closure, while full-thickness grafts offer superior cosmetic results.
