Abstract

Comparison between various autogenous free skin grafts in dogs is described. Pinch grafts gave the best survival results as compared to the full thickness and split thickness grafts as judged clinically and histomorphologically. The full thickness grafts had a poor survival rate but the cosmetic appearance was better as compared to split thickness and pinch grafts.
