[Treatment of a wide cutaneous post-traumatic loss of substance by cell cultures. Case report].

Abstract

Bioengineering skin represents a successful outcome in the interdisciplinary research applied to reconstructive surgery. In this study we report our experience in the reconstruction of a wide traumatic wound by autologous engineered skin, grown on a biomaterial scaffold. Advantages were rapid reparation of the trauma and good scars.
