    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: An effective and inexpensive coverage, which can prevent scar formation and fill up scar tissue depression for full thickness skin burns in 23 patients was presented. METHODS: A deepithelized and acellular basement membranes of dermis from freshly harvested pigskin was obtained as meshed acellular dermis xenograft. The patients were treated in one or two stages. Two stages, 7 day postoperative the meshed acellular xenograft, a split thickness skin autograft was applied. One stage, the meshed acellular xenograft and split thickness skin autograft were applied at same time. RESULTS: The take rate of two staged treatment was (87.0 +/- 25.4)% and one stage was (60.3 +/- 3.4)%. All grafts showed in pink or near normal skin color and felt soft and smooth. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of meshed acellular dermis xenograft and split thickness skin autograft demonstrated an ideal way for the coverage of full thickness skin burn, which is effective and inexpensive.
