Skin Grafts & Flaps
Skin Graft Surgery
A skin graft is a patch of skin that is transplanted from one part of the body to another and must grow a new blood supply from the area that it has been moved to.
Skin Flaps
A skin flap is used when the anatomy allows the skin to be taken from adjacent to the wound but if this is not possible a skin graft from another part of the body is required.
