title: Split thickness skin grafting.
abstract: Primary care physicians often see wounds in which skin loss is a major factor. Although most of these wounds will heal with local care and with a reasonable functional result, split thickness skin grafting as a simple outpatient or bedside procedure can speed healing more comfortably for the patient and with greatly improved functional results. This article outlines the techniques of skin grafting as part of a minor surgical armamentarium.
