La préparation du site receveur : les bonnes pratiques ou quand greffer ?

Preparing the recipient site: best practices or when to graft? A split thickness skin graft is a common procedure, carried out in all surgical specialities. It needs avalidated and reproducible surgical technique with nor arguing elements. The fundamental phase deterlining the outcome remains the preparation of the recipient site. It is divided into two stages: the cleaning of the wound bed and the appearance of granulation tissue with good vascularisation. These two stages require relatively rigorous and sequential treatment which the authors describe in this article.
