Skin
EPIDERMIS• No blood vessels.• Relies on diffusion from
underlying tissues.• Stratified squamous
epithelium composed primarily of keratinocytes.
• Separated from the dermis by a basement membrane.

Skin
DERMIS• Composed of two “sub-
layers”: superficial papillary & deep reticular.
• The dermis contains collagen, capillaries, elastic fibers, fibroblasts, nerve endings, etc.

Definitions
GraftA 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.
FlapAny 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.
![Page 7: Skin Grafts BY DR.Surapol chagkornburee. Outline 1.Skin Review 2.Definitions 3.Difference between Grafts & Flaps 4.Classification of Skin Grafts 5.Types](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649c9c5503460f9495a4bb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Graft vs. FlapGraft
Does not maintain
original blood supply.
Flap
Maintains original blood
supply.

Classification of Grafts
1. Autografts – A tissue transferred from one part of the body to another.
2. Homografts/Allograft – tissue transferred from a genetically different individual of the same species.
3. Xenografts – a graft transferred from an individual of one species to an individual of another species.

Types of Grafts
Grafts are typically described in terms of thickness or depth.
Split Thickness(Partial): Contains 100% of the epidermis and a portion of the dermis. Split thickness grafts are further classified as thin or thick.
Full Thickness: Contains 100% of the epidermis and dermis.

What factor determines the degree of primary contraction?
• The amount of primary contraction is directly related to the thickness of dermis in the graft.
![Page 12: Skin Grafts BY DR.Surapol chagkornburee. Outline 1.Skin Review 2.Definitions 3.Difference between Grafts & Flaps 4.Classification of Skin Grafts 5.Types](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649c9c5503460f9495a4bb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Process of Take
Phase 1 (0-48h) – Plasmatic Imbibition
Diffusion of nutrition from the recipient bed.
Phase 2 – Inosculation
Vessels in graft connect with those in recipient bed.
Phase 3 (day 3-5) – Neovascular Ingrowth
Graft revascularized by ingrowth of new vessels into bed.

Requirements for Survival
• Bed must be well vascularized.
• The contact between graft and recipient must be fully immobile.
• Low bacterial count at the site.

Other Factors that Contribute to Graft Failure
• Systemic Factors– Malnutrition– Sepsis– Medical Conditions (Diabetes)– Medications
• Steroids• Antineoplastic agents• Vasonconstrictors (e.g. nicotine)

• Infected Wound
• Highly irradiated
![Page 16: Skin Grafts BY DR.Surapol chagkornburee. Outline 1.Skin Review 2.Definitions 3.Difference between Grafts & Flaps 4.Classification of Skin Grafts 5.Types](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649c9c5503460f9495a4bb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Indications for Grafts
• Extensive wounds.
• Burns.
• Specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur.
• Areas of prior infection with extensive skin loss.
• Cosmetic reasons in reconstructive surgeries.
![Page 17: Skin Grafts BY DR.Surapol chagkornburee. Outline 1.Skin Review 2.Definitions 3.Difference between Grafts & Flaps 4.Classification of Skin Grafts 5.Types](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649c9c5503460f9495a4bb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Split Thickness
Used when cosmetic appearance is not a primary issue or when the size of the wound is too large to use a full thickness graft.
1. Chronic Ulcers
2. Temporary coverage
3. Correction of pigmentation disorders
4. Burns
![Page 18: Skin Grafts BY DR.Surapol chagkornburee. Outline 1.Skin Review 2.Definitions 3.Difference between Grafts & Flaps 4.Classification of Skin Grafts 5.Types](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649c9c5503460f9495a4bb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Full Thickness
Indications for full thickness skin grafts include:
1. If adjacent tissue has premalignant or malignant lesions and precludes the use of a flap.
2. Specific locations that lend themselves well to FTSGs include the nasal tip, helical rim, forehead, eyelids, medial canthus, concha, and digits.

Donor Sites
The ideal donor site would provide skin that isidentical to the skin surrounding the recipient area.
Unfortunately, skin varies dramatically from oneanatomic site to another in terms of:
- Colour- Thickness- Hair - Texture

Donor Site Selection
• What would be the best donor site for a graft of the cheek?
![Page 21: Skin Grafts BY DR.Surapol chagkornburee. Outline 1.Skin Review 2.Definitions 3.Difference between Grafts & Flaps 4.Classification of Skin Grafts 5.Types](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649c9c5503460f9495a4bb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Donor Site Selection
• What would be the best donor site for a graft of the cheek?
A donor site above the clavicles would provide the best color and texture match. In particular the postauricular area is a good choice.
