Skin grafting can reduce the course of treatment and hospitalization needed, and can also improve function and appearance. There are two types of skin grafts:
The wound usually appears red and can be accompanied by drainage. Clinicians delay re-opening the wound unless it is necessary due to the potential of other complications. If the surgical wound worsens, or if a rupture of the digestive system is suspected the decision may be to investigate the source of the drainage or infection. [2] [3]

[1] Surgeons may use skin grafting to treat: extensive wounding or trauma; burns; areas of extensive skin loss due to infection such as necrotizing fasciitis or purpura fulminans [2]
