Thiersch' graft
Associated persons:
Karl Thiersch
Description:
A method of split skin grafting using epidermis and a portion of the dermis. Consists of shaving thin strips of healthy skin so that the true skin is divided and then implanting these strips on granulating tissue. Thiersch' graft is an improvement of Ollier’s graft. This technique has also been called Ollier-Thiersch graft, but the term Thiersch’ graft is now commonly used.
