This article reports a new grafting technique--microskin grafting. These experiments were carried out in rabbits, and used a small amount of autograft minced into tiny pieces and then spread on a piece of homograft. The combined autograft plus homograft was then transplanted onto the wound of a rabbit. In 12 rabbits, the microskin grafts took well and covered the wound completely in 8 rabbits. The expansion ratios of the micrografts were from 7:1 to 15:1. The healing time of the wound was from 19 to 35 days. The operation failed in 4 rabbits because of the homograft moving. Histological sections revealed that microskin grafts orientated upwards can grow well and those orientated in a lateral or downward direction can grow too. This technique is an effective procedure for repairing extensive wounds with smaller donor sites.
