Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this work was to present the investigators experience in the use of autologous three-cellular cultured skin substitutes (CSS) consisting of cultured keratinocytes, melanocytes and fibroblasts attached to a scaffold of hyaluronic acid. This method represents a surgical alternative in the treatment of a variety of pathologies, including burns, ulcers and giant nevi.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background and Objective:

Permanent wound closure remains a limiting factor in the closure of extensive, full-thickness loss of substance. The aim of this work was to present our experience in the use of autologous three-cellular cultured skin substitutes (CSS) consisting of cultured keratinocytes, melanocytes and fibroblasts attached to a scaffold of hyaluronic acid. This method represents a surgical alternative in the treatment of a variety of pathologies, including burns, ulcers and giant nevi.

Methods:

CSS were obtained from full-thickness skin biopsies collected after enrollment of 11 patients in a study protocol approved by the local Institutional Review Boards of the "La Sapienza" University of Rome. CSS consisted of a structure characterized by the presence of a pluristratified epithelial cell surface with melanocytes (relation 1/20) and a basement of fibroblasts kept together by an esterified hyaluronic acid scaffold that can be surgically manipulated, and is gradually reabsorbed after implantation and substituted by the host connectival stroma.
