Abstract
The literature on the recovery of sensation in transplanted skin is extremely scanty. In 1899, Stransky1reported a few observations in eleven cases of pedicle flaps and Thiersch grafts in which he described a return of tactile sensibility as early as ten days after transplantation. Dubreuilh and Noel2made a few incomplete observations in eleven cases of Wolfe grafts, and found that superficial sensation recovered in about a year. Williams3described the presence of impaired sensation in a Thiersch graft thirty years after operation. Davis and Traut4made the brief statement that recovery of sensation begins at the periphery of all types of skin grafts in four or five weeks, and that tactile sensibility is restored first, followed by pain and temperature sense. Their method of testing and specific cases are not described. While recovery of sensation is not of major importance in the late results
