Scalpel removal and skin grafting

Skin grafting is to remove a part of the skin at the healthy skin (donor area) to cover the area (receiver area) where the scar has been removed. Donor skin needs new blood in the recipient area to survive. In general, the success rate of autogenous skin transplantation is great, but there is also a possibility that skin grafting will not survive. In addition, all skin grafts will leave scars on the donor site.
