Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
There are two types of skin grafts: Partial-thickness: The more common type involves removing a thin layer of skin from a healthy part of the body (the donor section). Full-thickness: Involves excising a defined area of skin, with a depth of excision down to the fat. The full thickness portion of skin is then placed at the recipient site.
Medicine includes the process by which the cells in the body regenerate and repair to reduce the size of a damaged or necrotic area and replace it with new living tissue. The replacement can happen in two ways: by regeneration in which the necrotic cells are replaced by new cells that form "like" tissue as was originally there; or by repair in ...

[18] [2] Following flap surgery, the biggest risk in recovery is flap death.
