In the past four years, 47 patients in our institution had grafts of meshed skin placed on a variety of defects. Indications, advantages and disadvantages, and postoperative phenomena are presented. Ten cases were available for a follow-up study of one to four years. Subjective complaints in the graft sites; vulnerability of the grafts to ordinary trauma; the patient's opinion of the postoperative condition; visibility of the mesh pattern; level; hyper- or hypopigmentation of the grafted sites; occurrence of hypertrophic scars or keloids; return of sensations (touch, pressure, cold, warmth, and epicritic pain); and thermographic findings in the graft sites were inquired about and judged objectively.
