Our experience with CEA is based on 21 patients operated on from 1986 to 1991. The areas covered with CEA measured 500 cm2 to 3160 cm2. ⋯ The same holds true when covering "deepithelialised" skin homografts on immunosuppressed patients. Scar formation has not been a problem, and the overall results have been good.

The paper summarizes the essentials of pediatric burn care (burn surgery excluded).
