Professor Kim Minseong of Chosun University and Resident Jeong Byeonghun Receive Excellence Award from the Korean Society for Aesthetic Dermatologic Surgery

Poster Presentation on Skin Defect Reconstruction Using Split-Thickness Skin Grafting

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun University Hospital (Director Kim Kyungjong) announced on the 20th that Professor Kim Minseong and resident Jeong Byeonghun from the Department of Dermatology recently won the 'Excellence Award' in the poster category at the '2022 27th Korean Society for Aesthetic Dermatologic Surgery Symposium' held at the Samjung Hotel in Seoul.

Professor Kim Minseong's team presented a poster titled "Skin defect reconstruction using splitted full thickness skin graft."

Skin grafting refers to a surgical procedure in which a piece of skin is taken from another part of the body and transplanted to an area with skin and soft tissue defects that cannot be closed by primary suturing. Depending on the thickness of the skin, it is divided into 'split-thickness skin graft' and 'full-thickness skin graft.'

Professor Kim's team analyzed cases of skin defect reconstruction using 'splitted full thickness skin graft' at Chosun University Hospital and demonstrated that this method reduces operation time and scar size compared to conventional full-thickness skin grafts, receiving great response.

Professor Kim said, "Splitted full thickness skin graft, which divides the skin defect area for transplantation, has relatively fewer size restrictions when selecting the donor site (skin providing area), and achieves better surgical outcomes for large skin defects caused after skin cancer removal, resulting in higher patient satisfaction."
