Postoperative Time and Anatomic Location Influence Skin Graft Reperfusion Assessed With Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging.

Skin graft reperfusion is a protracted process that evolves differently in the graft centre and periphery, influenced by postoperative time and anatomic location. A better knowledge of this process can potentially enhance the development of strategies to induce vessel ingrowth into tissue-engineered skin substitutes.
