    Full thickness free skin grafting (Wolfe graft) from the hypogastricum offers a viable solution for covering skin defects in extremities and the skull. Careful graft preparation and local treatment are crucial for optimal wound healing and cosmetic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatologic surgery
    • Plastic and reconstructive surgery

    Context:

    • Utilizing the hypogastricum as a donor site for full thickness free skin grafts (Wolfe grafts).
    • Addressing fresh skin defects involving dermis and subcutaneous tissue, often resulting from tumor surgery.
    • Evaluating the suitability of this technique for defects in the extremities and skull region.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the advantages of using the hypogastricum for Wolfe grafts.
    • To present a case series of ten patients undergoing this procedure.
    • To highlight critical factors for successful graft take and final cosmetic results.

    Summary:

    • The hypogastricum serves as an effective donor area for large Wolfe grafts, allowing for primary wound closure to minimize scarring.
    • The thin dermis of the graft promotes good wound healing.

  • Meticulous removal of subcutaneous fat from the graft's undersurface is essential for successful integration.
  • Graft take is assessed using morphological criteria, and post-operative local treatment is paramount for the final aesthetic outcome.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a reliable method for reconstructing skin defects with good cosmetic results.
    • Minimizes donor site morbidity through primary wound closure.
    • Offers a valuable technique for surgeons dealing with complex skin reconstructions.
