[Skin culture on the burn wound as a final skin replacement].
The epithelium-specific nutritive solution initially developed for laboratory use by Parshley and Simms allows the culture of autologous epithelium on a burn wound. The basal cell layer of the wound is encouraged to proliferate strongly if the fresh wound is kept moist until the time of epithelial transfer on about the 10th day. Both mechanisms-growing skin on the wound an proliferation of the wound edges-lead to quick an painless wound healing. Histological, and particularly autohistoradiographical findings confirm these statements. Slides of clinical cases show the island-like growth of epithelium on the wound and the cosmetic result.
