Role of autologous platelet-rich plasma with collagen in storage of skin graft

Abstract

Skin grafting remains the ideal method for the treatment of majority of wounds. Raw area following burns may require a lot of skin graft coverage. Grafting and regrafting may also be required subsequently. We treated a post-electric burn patient with skin grafting for the raw area over both hands and abdomen, and the excess graft was stored and reapplied. This article discusses the method of preservation of skin grafts and their usage in further grafting.
