Abstract:
Transplantation of autologous cultured epidermal sheets is a recent advance in the treatment of burn patients. A small skin biopsy is sufficient to produce large epidermal sheets within 3 weeks which provide transplants to cover extensive burn wounds. First clinical experience with this method is described.
