Reconstructing scalp defects can be challenging for a plastic surgeon. For this purpose, different procedures such as primary repair and coverage with skin grafts or flaps can be considered. Sometimes, the external table of the skull can be removed completely to the diploic space. At the same time or after the formation of granulation tissue, the diploic space can be covered with split-thicknes...

skin grafting always has been considered a challenging task for the researchers and tissue engineers from its first introduction in 1871 by reverdin. skin substitutes, composed of degradable synthetic or biological components, are being considered as emergency replacements/grafts to the damaged skin. a number of technical developments in this filed have led to development of several skin substi...

BACKGROUND Our research purpose was to compare the curative efficacy of different skin grafting methods for treating third-degree burn wounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 105 patients with third-degree burns were involved in this study. The burn wounds of these patients were treated using three different methods: Meek skin grafting, Stamp skin grafting, and Microskin grafting. Patients trea...

Although skin grafting originated 2500 to 3000 years ago, it was until the 19 th century that this technique was again introduced as a reconstructive option. While 19th century surgeons used grafts to repair their most difficult cases, skin grafting has since evolved into a modality that is routinely and sometimes preferentially used for the surgical repair of skin defects [1]. In this chapter ...

dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (dfsp) is very rare tumor of dermis layer of skin with the incidence of only 1 case per million per year. dfsp rarely leads to a metastasis (less than 5% have metastasis), but dfsp can recur locally. we publish a rare case of a recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and its management with radical excision and interval skin grafting.
