Objective: to assess the role of skin grafting in the complex treatment of severe combined injuries of the trunk and extremities of traumatic genesis. The article analyzed data of 242 patients with defects in the integumentary tissues of the trunk and extremities, which resulted from mechanical damages. 697 surgical interventions were performed to patients, of which 238 operations were performed with autodermoplasty to repair damaged tissues. Autodermoplasty, as a method of correcting intervention to close the defects of the epithelial tissues caused by mechanical
factors, is the fastest and most effective way to close the wound surface in conditions of large anatomical and functional changes that are accompanied by bleeding, hemorrhages in the tissue, or partial or complete separation of the limb.
