Hudtransplantation


A wounds after a fire damage, traffic injury or certain operations often require that you perform a plastic surgery to prevent the formation of ugly, obtrusive scars. It then covers the wound with a delhuds-graft from the patient's own body. This type of transplant is no problem with rejection, because the body's immune system does not attack the graft (see transplantation).

A method for hudtransplantationer is the so-called free transfer. You take healthy skin from the thigh or back. With a special cutting machine, a flag, which includes more than skin and a very thin layer of leather skin.
