[Skin defect coverage with micro skin graft].
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study is to coverage of the large skin defect with microskin graft.


METHODS
The wound coverage of the large skin defect may be difficult with auto skin graft. In these patients, split thickness skin graft may be used in a bloc shape or expanded skin graft shape and a stamp skin graft shape or expanded stamp skin graft shape. On the other hand, split thickness skin graft may be used as a micrograft shape after the mincing process, which reduces of the graft size in a few millimeters. In this study, 6 patients with skin defect was admitted in our clinic, and their skin defect was treated with micro skin graft. Expansion ratio was 1:15.


RESULTS
Epithelialization on the wound surface was completed in 4 to 6 weeks and cobblestone appearance was observed after the wound coverage.


CONCLUSIONS
Skin defect coverage with micrograft is an effective technique like the other skin graft coverage methods.
