 Wound closure
 To prevent infection
 To recover skin function/reconsruct
Definitions
Graft
A skin graft is a tissue of epidermis and varying
amounts of dermis that is detached from its own
blood supply and placed in a new area with a new
blood supply.
Flap
Any tissue used for reconstruction or wound
closure that retains all or part of its original blood
supply after the tissue has been moved to the
recipient location.
Graft vs Flap

Type of Graft Advantages Disadvantages
-Best Survival -Least resembles original skin.
Thin Split
-Heals Rapidly -Least resistance to trauma.
Thickness -Poor Sensation
-Maximal Secondary
Contraction

-More qualities of normal -Lower graft survival


Thick Split skin. -Slower healing.
Thickness -Less Contraction
-Looks better
-Fair Sensation
-Most resembles normal -Poorest survival.
Full skin. -Donor site must be closed
Thickness -Minimal Secondary surgically.
contraction -Donor sites are limited.
-Resistant to trauma
-Good Sensation
-Aesthetically pleasing
