What you need to know about Skin Grafting in Zurich
Skin grafting is a type of surgery that involves removing skin from an area of the body and transplanting it to a different area. The transplanted skin tissue is called a skin graft. This surgery may be done to treat burns, extensive wounding or trauma, and areas of extensive skin loss caused by infection, such as purpura fulminans and necrotizing fasciitis. Skin grafting may also be used in certain surgeries that may need skin grafts for healing to occur, such as the removal of skin cancer.
There are two basic types of skin grafts:
- Split-thickness grafts involve removing the top layer of the skin (the epidermis) and a portion of the deeper layer of the skin (dermis). The skin is taken from a healthy part of the body (donor site). The grafts are used to cover large areas.
- Full-thickness grafts involve removing all of the epidermis and dermis from the donor site. This type of graft is usually used for small wounds that are located on highly visible parts of the body, such as the face.
What's the Recovery Time for Skin Grafting Procedures in Zurich?
The donor site generally takes anywhere from several days to a week to heal. You need to avoid doing any activities that could injure or stretch the graft site, including exercise, for at least three to four weeks. Your surgeon will give you a detailed recovery timeline and tell you when it is safe to resume your normal activities.
What's the Success Rate of Skin Grafting Procedures in Zurich?
Skin grafting is highly successful, and the reason for your surgery determines the result. However, some skin grafts do not heal well, and you may need a second graft. Skin grafting also carries some risks, including allergic reaction to the anaesthesia, problems with breathing, bleeding, infection, blood clots, infection, loss of grafted skin, chronic pain, reduced or lost skin sensation, scarring, skin discolouration, increased sensitivity, and uneven skin surface.
