[Thin split thickness skin grafting double taken from avulsed skin in treatment for skin avulsion in children].
In order to utilize avulsed skin to cover skin defects, a new skin grafting technique, thin split thickness skin grafting double taken from avulsed skin, was used in 23 cases of severe skin avulsion. The skin grafts in profound layer were observed histologically. The results showed no difference between skin grafts in superficial layer and ones in profound layer, but the latter needed longer time to heal. Using this technique, we can obtain skin graft in double amount from avulsed skin.
