This manuscript demonstrates a novel technique for enhancing donor site healing in skin graft procedures, suggesting improved outcomes.
Full‐thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) provide superior aesthetic outcomes compared to split‐thickness grafts, but harvesting large FTSGs is often limited by donor site morbidity, tension, and tissue waste. In this manuscript, we describe the ‘slide‐by‐side’ technique that improves tissue economy, decreases closure tension, and reduces donor site morbidity, enabling reconstruction of large defects with the cosmetic advantages of FTSGs.
