Abstract:
:The goal of this article is to review the status of cultured epithelial autografts in clinical practice with particular focus on the pediatric subset of patients. The current indications include massive deep burns (>60 - 70% total body surface area), resurfacing-type postburn scar revisions, and skin defect coverage following excision of large skin lesions like giant nevi. Although this method can be lifesaving for massively burned patients, and although excellent functional and cosmetic results may be obtained under ideal circumstances, formidable problems continue to exist. Take is inconsistent, cultured grafts are extremely susceptible to infection, and skin breakdown during the first months post grafting may occur due to mechanical instability of the regenerating skin. It may take one more decade of concerted research, jointly performed by clinicians and tissue culture technology experts in order to fabricate more skin-like grafts which are robust, reliable, and less expensive. Then, "cultured skin" will conquer the world and benefit countless patients.
