<unk>  is a type of medical grafting involving the transplantation of skin. The transplanted tissue is called a skin graft.<unk>  is often used to treat:
Extensive wounding or trauma
Burns
Areas of prior infection with extensive skin loss
Specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur
Skin grafts are often employed after serious injuries when some of the body's skin is damaged. Surgical removal (excision or debridement) of the damaged skin is followed by<unk> .  The grafting serves two purposes: it can reduce the course of treatment needed (and time in the hospital), and it can improve the function and appearance of the area of the body which receives the skin graft. There are two types of skin grafts, the more common type is where a thin layer is removed from a healthy part of the (body the donor section) like peeling a potato, (see donor section) or a full thickness skin graft, which involves pitching and cutting skin away from the donor section. A full thickness skin graft is more risky, in terms of the body accepting the skin, yet it leaves only a scar line on the donor section, similar to a Cesarean section scar. For full thickness skin grafts, the donor section will often heal a lot quicker then injury. and  not only heals quicker but is less painful then a partial thickness skin graft.
