Dermal overgrafting in dermatology
Abstract:
Split-thickness or full-thickness grafts "take" on a bed of scar tissue or dermis following the removal of the epidermis. The technique is useful in repairing unstable scars from chronic leg ulcers or x-ray scars. It also can camouflage acne scars, extensive nevi pigmentosus, and tattoos. Examples of their use in dermatology are presented.
