Abstract

Skin grafting is a most common procedure done in plastic surgery department. The most common complication associated with skin grafting is graft loss. Graft loss is expected usually from day 7 - day 10. The excess skin graft harvested during the initial skin grafting will be preserved for the future graft loss. Various preservative methods are available for storage of excess skin grafts. In this article, we assess the preservation of skin grafts in the donor site of the same patient.
