Preparation: The wound site is cleaned and debrided to remove any dead tissue. Harvesting: Skin is taken from a donor site, often the thigh or buttocks, using a special instrument called a dermatome. Transplantation: The harvested skin is placed over the wound and secured with sutures, staples, or special dressings. Postoperative care: The graft site is monitored for signs of infection, rejection, or other complications. Pain management and physical therapy may also be necessary.
