Abstract
Quilted full thickness skin grafts were used to cover surgical defects in the lower limb following excision of skin lesions in 92 cases. Patients were mobilised early and discharged home. 93.4% of grafted area had taken by 2 weeks post operatively. Minimal after care is required and highly acceptable cosmetic donor and graft sites were achieved.
