AB The  origin  of  skin  grafting  dates  back  approximately  3000  years  ago,  when  autologous  grafts  were  used  to  repair  mutilated  noses,  ears,  and  lips  in  India.1  In  the  era  of  modern  medicine,  the  first  reports  of  successful  skin  grafting  date  from  the  mid  to  late  19th  century,  with  Reverdin’s  report  in  1869  presenting  the  use  of  pinch  grafts  to  accelerate  healing  of  granulating  wounds.  Currently,  there  are  a  multitude  of  applications  utilizing  skin  grafting.  These  include  reconstruction  following  surgery,  tissue  replacement  in  burn  victims  and  patients  with  epidermolysis  bullosa,  treatment  of  chronic  ulcers,  and  hair  transplantation.
