Skin Grafting in Pune
Skin grafting is a surgical procedure in which skin is removed from one healthy part of the body and replaced over another body region that has lost its top protective layer of the skin. This is called an autograft. If healthy skin is taken from another person’s body and replaced over the patient’s body, it is known as an allograft. Our surgeons typically perform skin grafting in Pune for patients with burns, skin illness, or severe injuries.

Skin Grafting Procedure And Aftercare Steps
The doctor schedules and prepares plans for the skin graft surgery several weeks before. The surgeon takes a comprehensive skin profile analysis of the site that has to be transplanted. You are expected to convey medications information related to the consumption of OTC medications or aspirin to your surgeon to avoid any unforeseen consequences.
On the day of surgery, the doctor administers anaesthesia so that the person falls asleep or is in the subconscious state not to feel pain. Then the doctor peels thin slices of skin from the donor part and transplants or grafts it on the site. The surgeon usually retrieves skin from the groyne, forearm, abdomen, etc.
After grafting skin in the site, the skin is secured carefully with sutures or tapes. The donor part is also wounded with tapes to avoid exposure to infection. The surgery has to be performed very carefully; otherwise, any chances of fluid formation and stagnation in the transplant site will defeat the surgeries’ purpose.
Aftercare:
Typically, the graft site will be observed closely by our surgeon team up to 36 hours of conjunction on graft in the site. If the graft does not develop blood vessels, it might signify an infection, blood clot, or water stagnation in the graft site. The doctors will treat with targeted medications or other techniques to treat graft. However, our expert team surpasses most cases with positive results requiring prescribed medications and follow-up appointments as aftercare.
