Abstract:With the use of Integra®, the duration of hospitalization was decreased, patients with multi-morbidities were effectively treated, and functionally- and esthetically-satisfactory outcomes were achieved. On the basis of these observations, we discuss points of handling those patients who require rapid and effective surgery and undergo dermatologic surgery using dermal substitutes.
“…One option for larger wounds is immediate split skin grafting onto the well‐vascularized diploë of the cranial bone. Very frequently performed today, the alternative procedure includes using a collagen matrix (to grow new skin) onto which the split skin graft is placed three weeks later . In the following, we focus on a – rather obvious and elegant – method of split skin grafting for larger scalp defects.…”

“…Seit 2010 behandeln wir tiefe Skalpwunden mit einem pflanzlichen Ölspray aus Neemöl und Johanniskrautöl, das bei Skalphautdefekten mit exponiertem Schädelknochen in etwa 80 % der Fälle zur Abheilung führt . Bei Wunden größeren Durchmessers kann entweder direkt auf die reichlich durchblutete Spongiosa der Diploe des Schädelknochens Spalthaut transplantiert werden, oder – was heute sehr häufig durchgeführt wird – als Zwischenschritt eine Neodermis aus einer Kollagenmatrix aufgebaut werden, bevor drei Wochen später Spalthaut verpflanzt wird . Im Folgenden fokussieren wir uns auf eine besonders naheliegende und elegante Form der Spalthautverpflanzung auf größere Exzisionsdefekte am Skalp.…”
In cases where plastic surgery is unavailable or undesirable, the use of dermal skin substitutes in combination with split-thickness skin grafting represents a promising alternative for covering wounds associated with soft tissue defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
