What Is A Skin Graft?
A skin graft is a surgical procedure used to replace sections of skin that have been removed. Skin grafts are normally used when a skin cancer has been cut from the body and the wound cannot be closed by using stitches.

Types of Skin Grafts Used In Skin Cancer Treatments
Split-thickness skin grafts
The cutting plane is located above the hair follicles which, by remaining in the donor site, allow healing by secondary intention. They are divided into thin and thick split-thickness skin grafts.
Full Thickness Skin Grafts
The epidermis and the entire dermis are removed from the donor site.
For any surgical procedure, your doctor will outline what is involved, what the potential side-effects might be and what the post-operative care will entail. We endeavour to keep our patients as informed as possible.
