What is Skin grafting?
Skin grafting is a surgery involving the transplantation of skin using various types of skin graft. Skin grafts are also used to treat extensive wounding or trauma and burns. The type of skin grafts used are autologous, allogeneic, xenogeneic, prosthetic, and isogeneic. Based on the intensity of the damage caused, these grafts can be used individually or along with another graft.
