Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To summarize microskin grafting in recent 15 years. METHODS: Microskin grafting was performed in 162 patients with extensive burns. The indications and forms of the grafting, mechanization in making microsk in and outcome of wound recovered by micrografts were discussed. RESULTS: Extremely extensive third degree burns, common extensive third degree burns and extensive granulation wound were healed byn different ways of microskin grafting. A new machine was used to mince micrografts with good clinical results. The homografts as coverture was exfoliated in either necrosis or desquamation. Scar formation was related to wound repair. CONCLUSIONS: Microskin grafting has made progress in recent years. The orientation and even spread of micrografts are very important for good wound repair. The technic should be further improved.
