- Abstract: BACKGROUND:How to provide sufficient skin resources for scar plastic surgery and repair of extensive deep burn patients while avoiding the re-proliferation of scar tissue in the surgical area has always been an important topic in burn and wound repair research. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical application effects of artificial dermis combined with autologous scar epidermis in the repair of scar after extensive burns. METHODS:Retrospective analysis was performed on 73 patients with scar hyperplasia and contracture deformity after extensive burns in Bengbu Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Bengbu Medical College from January 2021 to January 2023.The patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment method:Group A(n=21,artificial dermis combined with autologous scar epidermis transplantation was used for treatment),group B(n=27,scar epidermis was transplanted after scar release in the functional site),and group C(n=25,functional site scar release after transplantation of thick skin treatment).Skin survival and infection at the receiving site,wound healing time at the receiving site and the donor site were recorded in the three groups.The scar status and functional recovery of the recipient area and donor area were evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale and activities of daily living. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The skin infection rate was lower in group B than that in groups A and C(P<0.05).The survival grade was higher in group B than that in groups A and C(P<0.05).(2)The wound healing time at the receiving site was longer in group A than that in groups B and C(P<0.05).The wound healing time at the receiving site was longer in group C than that in group B(P<0.05).The wound healing time at the donor site was longer in group C than that in groups A and B(P<0.05).(3)Vancouver Scar Scale score was higher in group B than that in groups A and C at 12 months postoperatively(P<0.05).Vancouver Scar Scale score was higher in group C than that in groups A and B at 6 and 12 months postoperatively(P<0.05).The excellent grade of activities of daily living in groups A and C was significantly higher than that of group B at 12 months postoperatively(P<0.05).(4)The results showed that the application of artificial dermis combined with autologous scar epidermis composite transplantation in the treatment of scar contracture after extensive burn could not only achieve the same effect as that of intermediate-thickness skin,but also avoid postoperative scar re-hyperplasia at the donor site and shorten the time of complete wound healing at the donor site.Compared with scar epidermal transplantation,this treatment has obvious advantages.
