“…Revascularisation occurs during days 3-7 via inosculation (vessels in the graft anastomose with vessels in recipient bed) and capillary buds penetrating from the recipient bed into preexisting vessels in the graft or in new regions (Broccoli et al, 2020;Carson-Dunkerley & Hanson, 1997;Converse et al, 1975;Hendrickson, 2021).…”

“…Inosculation occurs more rapidly, when blood vessels in the graft form connections with vessels in the recipient bed (Broccoli et al, 2020;Converse et al, 1975). Alternatively, capillary buds from the recipient bed can grow into the graft vessels, using them as conduits for revascularisation, which occurs more slowly at a rate of 1 mm/day (Converse et al, 1975).…”

“…Plasmatic imbibition occurs during days 1–4 following grafting when nutrition and oxygen to support the graft comes from the fibrin clot surrounding the graft (Broccoli et al., 2020; Carson‐Dunkerley & Hanson, 1997; Hendrickson, 2021). During this phase, cyanosis of the grafted tissue can occur.…”

SummarySkin grafting is a simple technique that can be performed by equine practitioners to improve cosmetic outcomes in wounds with large skin defects that would not heal functionally or cosmetically with standard wound therapy interventions. Successful skin grafting is not difficult but relies upon appropriate preparation of the wound bed and effective immobilisation of the grafted area after skin graft placement. Prior to grafting, the wound bed should be treated with a moist wound healing dressing to prepare the granulation tissue bed to receive the graft. For best results, skin grafts should be placed in wounds free of infection with healthy granulation tissue, and motion should be reduced in the graft region in the early postoperative period. When successful, skin grafts cover granulation tissue and encourage wound contraction and epithelialisation while decreasing exuberant granulation tissue resulting in a more cosmetic result. This review will advance practitioners' understanding of skin grafting in horses, including graft classification and techniques, donor site selection, recipient site preparation and postoperative management strategies to optimise graft retention and ongoing research in this field.
