“…Another benefit is the easy application compared to the difficult handling of higher expanded mesh grafts (1:6 or 1:9) [42][43][44][45][46]. In shortage of donor sites, Meek enabled the expansion of smaller grafts, as well the usage of donor sites, which cannot be grabbed by other grafting techniques [46,47]. Furthermore, the re-epithelialization time seems to be shorter with the Meek technique compared to mesh grafts [43].…”

Autologous skin grafting was developed more than 3500 years ago. Several approaches and techniques have been discovered and established in burn care since then. Great achievements were made during the 19th and 20th century. Many of these techniques are still part of the surgical burn care. Today, autologous skin grafting is still considered to be the gold standard for burn wound coverage. The present paper gives an overview about the evolution of skin grafting and its usage in burn care nowadays.

Auto-skin grafting is the current treatment of choice for extensive burns. Nevertheless, the lack of donor sites for skin grafting remains one of the greatest limiting factors for the treatment of extensively burned patients. We present the case of a 53-year-old male patient with deep and full thickness burns on 91% of the total body surface area. We used the Meek technique for split-thickness skin graft expansion to treat this patient. In order to obtain sufficient skin for grafting, we repeatedly harvested the same anatomical areas. Acceleration of burn wounds, recipient, and donor site healing was achieved by systemic treatment with recombinant human growth hormone and topical recombinant human epidermal growth factors. This combined, complex treatment modality contributed to the successful skin repair in this patient.
