Skin grafting is a reconstructive surgical procedure in which healthy skin is taken from one part of the body (the donor site) and placed over a wound where skin has been lost or damaged. It is most commonly performed after serious burns, large traumatic injuries, surgical removal of skin cancers, chronic non-healing ulcers, and severe skin infections. The two main types are split-thickness skin grafts, which cover large areas and heal from deeper skin cells left at the donor site, and full-thickness skin grafts, which offer a closer colour and texture match for smaller, visible areas such as the face or hands. The graft must establish a new blood supply from the wound bed over the first week — a process called 'graft take' — during which rest and immobilisation are critical. Most patients remain in India for a few weeks to allow dressing reviews and early healing monitoring before they are fit to fly home.
A thin sheet of skin including the top two layers is harvested using a dermatome and placed over the wound, often meshed to cover a larger area — the standard choice for burns and large wounds.
