Abstrakt: Surgeons who treat and manage complex wounds rely on many techniques and modalities to properly close their wounds. In modern times, the concept of the reconstructive ladder helps practitioners make decisions on which method to employ to create the best result. Skin autografting is a part of that algorithm, but few know of the arduous history of this field. Dating back thousands of years ago, the history of skin autografting is complex and spans several continents and eras. This article discusses the history and nuance of a surgical technique that has had years of refinement. The discussion begins with ancient times and delves into how skin autografting made a resurgence during the renaissance and the late 1800s and the influence that World War I posed on the advancement of this surgical principle.
