Abstract
It is important to match the length of graft and incision depth if there are significant differences in the length of grafts in the same individual. In order to measure the length of graft efficiently, the author made a device named “Hwang’s board,” and it helps depth controlled transplantation, which reduced complications such as folliculitis, pitting, and poor survival.
