Skin grafting involves harvesting of a free segment of skin from a donor site and transplanting it to a distant recipient site, usually one outside the reach of skin flaps. It is most commonly used to cover large defects of the distal limb, where a limited amount of local skin is available for reconstruction. Less commonly it may be used to cover large defects on the trunk, for example caused by burns. Grafts are completely detached from any blood supply following harvesting, and must re-establish vascular connections with the recipient site in order to survive. Understanding the process of engraftment or graft 'take' is essential to minimise the risk of postoperative complications. This article will review the general principles of skin grafting, the most commonly performed techniques, and the steps required to minimise complications.
