What is a "graft"?

A graft is a surgical procedures that involves taking tissue from one part of the body and placing it in another to repair or reconstruct damaged or missing tissue. This tissue can be skin, bone, blood vessels, or other types of tissue. Grafts are commonly used in various surgeries, such as skin grafts for burn victims, bone grafts for fractures or bone issues, and vascular grafts for repairing blood vessels. The goal is to promote healing and restore function in the affected area by providing new tissue or structure where it is needed. Grafts can come from the patient's own body, known as an autograft; from another individual, known as an allograft; or from artificial materials, known as synthetic grafts.
