Combination of meshed dermis graft and cultured epithelial autograft for massive burns

摘要

Rationale:This study reviewed the use of a combination of meshed dermis graft and cultured epithelial autografts (CEA) made in Japan “JACE” (JACE; Japan Tissue Engineering Co., Ltd. Japan) for the treatment of massively burns. JACE is a Green-type CEA. We recently described a method in which we prepare the wound bed for burned patients by using artificial dermis and graft with JACE on a meshed 6:1 split-thickness autograft. In this report, we used a meshed 3:1 split-thickness dermis graft without epithelial cells. There are several reports of combination of using CEA on meshed split-thickness autograft, however this is the first report of using CEA on meshed split-thickness dermis graft.
