[The clinical application of xenogenic (porcine) acellular dermal matrix grafting with thin autogenic skin on deep wounds].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effectiveness of xenogenic(porcine) acellular dermal matrix grafting with thin autogenic skin on deep wounds with good wound-bed.


METHODS
52 cases of patients with deep wounds were transplanted with xenogenic(porcine) acellular dermal matrix grafting and thin autogenic skin by two step method from Jan. 2000 to Feb. 2002.


RESULTS
37 cases of patients achieved complete take(71.1%) and 15 cases got 95 percent take (28.9%) with none needing grafting again. 3-6 months' following up showed that skins of complex grafting had well-acceptable color and quality compared to nearby skin.


CONCLUSIONS
This kind of xenogenic(porcine) acellular dermal matrix can be widely used on deep wounds with good wound bed as complex graft.
