“…According to Mir y Mir, the restoration of blood supply in the thin split-thickness skin graft is achieved mainly by the establishment of direct vascular continuity between the respective vessels of the graft and host. The sequence of vascular changes in full-thickness skin grafts as reported by Mir y Mir (1951) parallels that reported by Davis and Traut (1925): the vitality of such grafts is initially ensured by the direct vascular connections between the two tissues, followed, in turn, by extensive host vascular ingrowth. In his classic study, Medawar (1944) observed that the revascularization of skin grafts in the rabbit by the ingrowth of capillaries from the host bed is achieved 4 days after grafting (Fig.…”

“…The vascularization of a skin graft is first established at 22 to 48 hours by the budding of blood vessels in the graft bed, and margin and the inosculation of the vessels with preexisting vessels in the graft. [11][12][13] Plasmatic imbibition is a critical phase for a full-thickness skin graft due to the amount of transplanted biological material. Its survival crucially depends on prompt restoration of the blood supply, which makes early marginal revascularization of a full-thickness graft over the avascular bed critical.…”

Full-thickness Skin Grafting With Marginal Deepithelialization of the Defect for Reconstruction of Helical Rim Keloids

Excising a keloid from the helical rim generally results in a narrow defect with exposed cartilage. Skin grafting is a surgical method with a lowest recurrence rate for keloid treatment. Full-thickness skin grafting may produce an excellent cosmetic outcome, but is generally considered too unreliable over a poorly vascularized defect with exposed cartilage. Adding a new healthy bed with rich vascularity on the periphery will increase the probability of the entire graft surviving via the bridging phenomenon. We report full-thickness skin grafting using a marginal deepithelialization technique for treatment of helical rim keloids. After keloid excision, the surrounding normal skin was deepithelialized 2 to 3 mm wide over the defect border, followed by full-thickness skin grafting. All grafts survived completely. None of the keloids recurred, and they all showed an excellent aesthetic result during the follow-up period from 9 months to 6 years.

“…24 At the review appointment if sufficient healing has occurred the sutures should be removed and the adjacent teeth can be gently cleaned with prophy paste and flossed to remove any plaque deposits. If plaque deposits are present at the surgical site, these can be removed gently with cotton wool soaked in 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate.…”
