Topic overview
Epidermal autografting (EA) creates a cell suspension from patient skin that is applied to burn wounds, often in conjunction with meshed split-thickness skin grafts (STSG). Application over STSG is thought to promote graft integration, decrease pain, and improve cosmetic appearance. This study compares outcomes of STSG+EA versus STSG alone in pediatric burn patients.
