Advanced Skin Grafting Surgery Pune
We at Sancheti Hospital provide skin grafting surgeries to cover wounds, restore skin integrity and reduce infection risk with personalised reconstructive care.
What is Skin Grafting?
Skin graft surgery is a reconstructive procedure where healthy skin is taken from one part of the body (donor site) and transplanted to another area that has lost skin due to burns, injuries, infections, ulcers, or tumor removal. In some cases, skin grafting and flap surgery may be combined for complex wounds requiring both coverage and blood supply restoration.
There are two main types of skin grafts:
- Split-thickness grafts – using only the top layers of skin for larger wound coverage.
- Full-thickness grafts – using both the epidermis and dermis for better cosmetic and functional results.
At Sancheti Hospital, our experts specialize in plastic surgery skin graft procedures, ensuring effective healing, functional restoration, and improved cosmetic outcomes for patients.
Benefits of Skin Grafting and Plastic Surgery
- Provides wound coverage for faster healing
- Restores function and protects deeper tissues from infection
- Improves appearance after burns, trauma, or surgical excisions
- Enhances mobility by preventing contractures in joints
- Can be life-saving in severe burn cases
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Risk of graft failure if blood supply is inadequate
- Donor site may experience scarring, pain, or pigmentation changes
- Cosmetic results may not always match surrounding skin tone or texture
- Requires strict post-operative care to ensure graft survival
- Healing process can take several weeks, depending on wound size and complexity

Frequently Asked Questions
What is skin graft surgery used for?
Skin graft surgery is commonly performed for burns, trauma wounds, chronic ulcers, and after tumor removal to restore healthy skin coverage.
What is the difference between skin grafting and flap surgery?
Skin grafting transfers only skin layers, while flap surgery moves skin, fat, and sometimes muscle along with its blood supply, used for more complex reconstructions.
How long does it take for a skin graft to heal?
Initial healing takes about 2–3 weeks, but full recovery and skin blending may take several months.
Is skin grafting painful?
The surgical site is usually not painful, but the donor site may cause discomfort, which is managed with pain relief and dressings.
What are the risks of plastic surgery skin graft procedures?
Risks include graft failure, infection, scarring, or uneven pigmentation, though these are minimized with proper care and expertise.
Can skin grafting restore normal appearance?
While skin grafts improve coverage and function, the appearance may not exactly match the surrounding skin, especially in large grafts.
How is rehabilitation after skin graft surgery done at Sancheti?
Our physiotherapists focus on scar care, joint mobility, and customized exercise programs to ensure functional recovery and prevent stiffness.
