    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To present the clinical application of the meshed acellular dermis xenograft with scalp thin split-thickness skin autograft. METHODS: The meshed acellular dermis xenograft (pigskin) was placed on the granulation or defects after scar resection. Four or five days afterwards, scalp thin split-thickness skin was transplanted. A total of 15 patients with 25 wounds were treated using this technique. The survival rates and quality of the grafts were observed. RESULTS: The survival rate of the meshed acellular dermis xenograft was (96.40 +/- 2.60)% and the scalp thin split-thickness skin autograft was (97.44 +/- 3.50)%. All grafts showed normal skin-alike color and elastic and smooth texture. CONCLUSION: The combined use of meshed acellular dermis xenograft and scalp skin autograft demonstrated an ideal way for the repair of full-thickness skin burn or defects from scar resection. The scalp can provide thin skin graft repeatedly without influence of the hair.
