Abstract

Skin grafting is a time-honored surgical technique that has been widely utilized
for wound coverage and reconstruction. Depending on the clinical scenario and
the requirements of the defect, skin grafts can be classifed into different types,
such as partial-thickness and full-thickness grafts, based on the amount of dermis
included along with the epidermis. Despite being a well-established procedure,
several factors can in?uence the success of graft uptake, including graft immobility,
wound bed nutrition, and prevention of infection. Various techniques and adjuncts
have been developed over time to improve graft take rates and overall healing
outcomes. In this article, we report a case of post-burn raw area successfully covered
using a split-thickness skin graft (SSG). The graft take was further enhanced by the
application of autologous platelet-rich plasma (APRP), which acted as a biological
adhesive and promoted early healing through the release of growth factors.
