AbstractCommercially prepared cultured epithelial autografts permit closure of deep burn wounds when insufficient uninjured skin is available for split-thickness grafting. This technique was used in seven patients with a mean total body surface area (TBSA) burn of 66% and full-thickness burn of 52%. All patients survived with a mean initial take of 69% and final take of 80% for the cultured epithelial autografts. Patients with a TBSA burn greater than 80% required at least a second application of the grafts. We feel our approach to wound preparation and postoperative wound care has contributed to our success with this technique.
