[Experimental and clinical validation of auto- and allodermoplasty using transverse dermal micrografts in deep burns].
A new method of autoallodermoplasty is proposed which is as follows: a patient's skin band is cut out 40 times less than the total area of the wound surface. The wound in the donor area is sutured tightly. The skin flap is dissected to thin transverse rectangular pieces with a special microdermatome or with a razor and then they are laid with their lateral side onto the wound and covered with the allo-skin. Experimental and clinical observations have shown that at remote terms both the anatomical and functional restitution of the integument occurred. The method is indicated for huge dermal defects of the "functionally passive" areas in patients with restricted, not big resources of the donor sites, especially in patients with high operative risk.
