ABSTRACT
Skin grafts, full-thickness skin grafts or split-thickness grafts, are useful means to repair skin defects. When the immobility or unavailability of adjacent tissue makes a primary closure or a flap an impractical method of wound closure, a skin graft becomes a useful adjunct in wound closure. This situation is particularly evident when repairing defects of the nasal tip and anterior aspect of the auricle. Other anatomical sites that lend themselves to repair via full-thickness skin grafts are the nasal ala, upper lip, eyelid, forehead, and hand.
