THE SKIN
The skin is the largest organ in
the body, accounting for 15% of
total adult body weight.
Layered structures:
• Epidermis
Stratified squamous
epithelium, primarily
composed of keratinocytes,
no blood vessels
• Dermis
Collagen, capillaries,
elastic fibers, fibroblasts,
nerve endings, etc.
FLAP BLOOD SUPPLY
• The skin, because of its role in
thermoregulation to maintain
homeostasis and its immunological
function, has a rich blood supply, far
greater than what is needed for its
own inherent metabolic demand
• The blood reaches the skin from
deeper named vessels, via multiple
perforating arteries and their
accompanying veins that course
through overlying muscles, septa, and
fascia
RECONSTRUCTIVE
LADDER
GRAFTS VS FLAPS
GRAFTS FLAPS
Limited to the skin Could carry other tissues
Depends on recipient site of
neovascularization
Has own blood supply
May discolor and contract after healing Similar color to recipient, less likely to
contract
Less adaptable for weight bearing Adaptable to weight bearing
Less able to survive on questionable
recipient tissue bed condition
Can be used on questionable recipient
tissue bed condition
Requires pressure dressing Requires no pressure dressing
SKIN GRAFTING
Fundamental technique:
wound coverage for a
patient through the
application and grafting of
skin harvested from a
distinct or separate region
located elsewhere on that
patient’s body.
1. Split-thickness skin
graft
2. Full-thickness skin
graft
SKIN GRAFTS
Split Thickness Skin Graft (STSG),
yaitu skin graft yang terdiri atas
epidermis dan sebagian dermis,
dibagi lagi menjadi
 Thick : Epidermis + ¾ bagian
lapisan dermis
 Medium : Epidermis + ½ bagian
lapisan dermis
 Thin: Epidermis + ¼ bagian lapisan
dermis
Full Thickness Skin Graft (FTSG),
yaitu skin graft yang terdiri atas
epidermis dan seluruh bagian tebal
dermis
Asal Skin Graft
• 1. Autograft: Graft berasal dari individu yang sama
• 2. Homograft: berasal dari individu lain yang sama spesiesnya
• 3. Heterograft (xenograft): berasal dari mahluk lain yang berbeda spesies
SPLIT THICKNESS SKIN GRAFT
Keuntungan
1. Kemungkinan take lebih besar
2. Dapat dipakai untuk menutup defek yang luas
3. Donor dapat diambil dari daerah tubuh mana
saja
4. Daerah donor dapat sembuh sendiri/epitelisasi
Kerugian
a. Punya kecenderungan kontraksi lebih besar
b. Punya kecenderungan terjadi perubahan warna
c. Permukaan kulit mengkilat
d. Secara estetik kurang baik
DONOR SITES FOR SKIN
GRAFT
STSG
Donor site may be used
again for subsequent STSG
• Scalp
• Thigh
• Buttocks
• Abdominal wall
FTSG
No remaining epithelial
structures for re-
epithelization
• Postauricular area
• Upper eyelid
• Groin
• Supraclavicular
TEKNIK STSG
GRAFT HARVESTING
• Humby knife
• Padgette Drum-type
dermatome
• Brown-electrical
dermatome
TEKNIK STSG
MESHED AND SHEET GRAFTS
Meshed skin graft
• Multiple mechanical
incisions result 
immediate expansion of
the graft
• Covers a larger area per
and
• Allows drainage through
the numerous holes
Sheet skin graft
• Continuous interrupted
surface
TEKNIK STSG
Perawatan daerah donor
• dapat digunakan occlusive dressings,
semiocclusive dressings, semiopen dressings,
atau open dressings. Biasanya dibuka setelah 2-
3 minggu.
Perawatan daerah resipien
• penutup yang tidak menempel, cukup lembab,
dan memberikan tekanan yang merata. Penutup
dibiarkan selama 5 hari pertama, sedangkan
kasa lemak (tulle) atau penutup yang tidak
menempel bisa dipertahankan lebih lama agar
tidak menggeser graftnya.
SKIN GRAFT
HEALING
Imbibition (0 – 48 hrs)
• Grafts are initially nourished by fluid from the wound bed
prior to restoration of perfusion (time dependent to wound
bed perfusion)
• Plasma fibrinogen converted into fibrin  adherence to
wound bed
Inosculation (48 – 72 hrs)
• Connections between the wound bed vessels and graft occur
through the process of angiogenesis and new vessel
ingrowth in a unidirectional fashion from the wound bed
into the graft
Revascularization (>96 hrs)
• Reperfusion by angiogenesis from the wound bed – it is
hypothesized that recipient-derived endothelial cells
migrating into the graft use the skin graft’s intrinsic
preexisting vascular network as a conduit for ingrowth, with
eventual replacement of the graft’s endothelial structure.
SYARAT TAKE
Vaskularisasi resipien yang baik
Kontak yang akurat antara skin graft dengan resipien
Immobilisasi
Tidak infeksi
Tidak ada perdarahan atau hematom
FULL THICKNESS SKIN GRAFT
Keuntungan
o Kecenderungan untuk terjadi kontraksi lebih kecil
o Kecenderungan untuk berubah warna lebih kecil
o Kecenderungan permukaan kulit mengkilat lebih
kecil
o Secara estetik lebih baik dari split thickness skin
graft
Kerugian
o Kemungkinan take lebih kecil dibandingkan STSG
o Hanya dapat menutup defek yang tidak terlalu luas
o Donor harus dijahit atau sebagian ditutup oleh
STSG bila luka donor agak luas sehingga tidak
dapat ditutup primer
o Donor terbatas pada tempat-tempat tertentu seperti
inguinal, supraklavikular, retroaurikular.
TEKNIK FTSG
a. Persiapan luka: pembersihan, debridement, dan hemostasis
b. Pengambilan: jaringan lemak dipisahkan dari kulit agar jaringan dapat bertahan melalui imbibisi di
daerah resipien
c. Perawatan luka: di daerah donor ditutup secara primer, di daerah resipien diberikan penutup
dengan tekanan yang merata. Biasa dibantu dengan jahitan pada graft ke dasarnya atau memakai tie
over untuk memfiksasi.
d. Tissue Expansion di daerah donor yang dilakukan sebelum pengambilan dapat meningkatkan luas
daerah donor dan memungkinkan penutupan secara primer
SKIN
FLAP
• Flaps are usually required for covering
recipient beds that have poor vascularity;
covering vital structures; reconstructing
the full thickness of the eyelids, lips, ears,
nose, and cheeks; and padding body
prominences.
• A skin flap consists of skin and subcutaneous
tissue that are transferred from one part of the
body to another with a vascular pedicle or
attachment to the body being maintained for
nourishment.
• Proper planning of a flap is essential to the
success of the operation.
FLAPS INDICATIONS
• Covering recipient beds with poor vascularity
• Covering vital structures
• Reconstructuring full thickness of tissue  eyelids,
cheeks, ear, nose
• Padding body prominance / weight bearing regio of
body
PRINCIPLES OF
REPARATION
USING SKIN
FLAPS
1. Planning: type and method of transfer
2. Size of flap
3. Closure of donor area
4. Prevention of failure
• Tension
• Venous congestion
• Hematoma
JENIS FLAP
Vaskularisasi
JENIS FLAP
Cara Berpindah
 Rotasi dengan Pivot Point: Rotasi (flap berbentuk semisirkuler yang
dirotasikan terhadap suatu pivot point untuk menutup suatu defek),
Transposisi, Interpolasi
 Advancement Flap: Single pedicle, V-Y advancement, Y-V
advancement, Bipedicle advancement
 Flap langsung atau tubed melibatkan flap yang terhubung ke situs
donor dan penerima secara bersamaan.
JENIS FLAP
Jarak dari Defek
• Local flap  immediately adjacent to defect
• Regional flap  moved form adjacent
region
• Distant flap  move from remote anatomic
area
• Free flap

Z-PLASTY
• Z-plasties can be applied to revise and redirect
existing scars or to provide additional length in
the setting of scar contracture
• The principle involves the transposition of two
triangular flaps
• The classic Z-plasty has an angle of 60 degrees
and provides a 75% theoretical gain in length of
the central limb by recruiting lateral tissue.
• Gain in length is in the direction of the central
limb of the Z and depends on the angle used and
the length of the central limb.
RHOMBOID FLAP
• The Limberg flap is a type of
transposition flap. This flap
depends on the looseness of
adjacent skin
• A Limberg flap is designed for
rhomboid defects with angles of 60
and 120 degrees, but most wounds
can be made rhomboid, or imagined
as rhomboid, so the principle is
applicable to most facial wounds
• The flap is designed with sides that
are the same length as the short
axis of the rhomboid defect
BIPEDICLE
ADVANCEMENT
FLAPS
V-Y ADVANCEMENT FLAP
• Rather, a V-shaped incision is
made in the skin, after which the
skin on each side of the V is
advanced and the incision is closed
as a Y
• This V-Y technique can be used to
lengthen such structures as the
nasal columella, eliminate minor
notches of the lip, and, in certain
instances, close the donor site of a
skin flap
DIRECT FLAP
• Direct or tubed flaps involve having
the flap connected to both the donor
and recipient sites simultaneously,
forming a bridge.
• This allows blood to be supplied by
the donor site while a new blood
supply from the recipient site is
formed.
• Once this happens, the "bridge" can
be disconnected from the donor site
if necessary, completing the
transfer.
FREE FLAP
A free flap has the blood
supply cut and then
reattached micro
surgically to a new blood
supply at the recipient site.
FREE FLAPS
• Advantages:
• Being able to select exactly the best tissue to reconstruct defect
• Can be used in a questionable donor site bed tissue
• Disadvantages:
• Complex surgical technique
• Usually takes longer operative time
• Failure of donor mean a total loss of all transfer tissue (double defect
of donor and recipient site)
