Reverdin: epidermic grafting for granulating wounds

What changed

Reported small superficial skin-piece grafting onto granulating wounds.

Scientific scope

The record is Reverdin’s sole-author 1869 report. Earlier flap and skin-transfer attempts, Guyon’s clinical service, later Ollier and Thiersch grafts, the 1968 reprint editor and modern transplantation immunology remain separate.
