How Local Flap/Small Skin Graft is performed
When direct closure may cause excessive tension or deformity, local flap repair or small skin grafting can be selected. A common practice is to dissect and transfer adjacent flaps under anesthesia, or to cover the defect with full-thickness/partial-thickness skin grafts from the donor site, suture in layers, and apply pressure dressings, with fixation and drainage if necessary. Postoperative monitoring focuses on the color, temperature, and capillary blood supply of the flap/graft, with the goal of survival and reconstruction of the shape. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
