ResumoSkin grafting originated with the Hindu Tilemaker Caste, approximately 2500 to 3000 years ago.4, 18, 21, 29 These early surgeons used free skin grafts taken from the gluteal region to replace noses amputated as punishment for theft and adultery. The western world remained ignorant of skin grafting procedures until the nineteenth century, when Reverdin's account of pinch grafting (1869), Ollier and Thiersch's accounts of thin split-thickness skin grafting (1872 and 1886, respectively), and Wolfe and Krause's accounts of full-thickness skin grafting (1875 and 1893, respectively) were published.53, 60, 76, 85 Although nineteenth century surgeons applied skin grafting techniques only to the most difficult problems of surgical management, skin grafting has evolved over the last century into a reconstructive option that is routinely and sometimes preferentially used during soft tissue reconstruction.
