Current concepts in pediatric burn care: management of burn wounds with cultured epidermal autografts.
Our experience with CEA is based on 21 patients operated on from 1986 to 1991. The areas covered with CEA measured 500 cm2 to 3160 cm2. At one setting no more than 40 sheets of 40 cm2 CEA have been transplanted. The take of CEA is over 75% when applied to dermis. The same holds true when covering "deepithelialised" skin homografts on immunosuppressed patients. Scar formation has not been a problem, and the overall results have been good.
