INNOVATIONS IN THE TREATMENT OF BURNS WIT H CULTIVATED HUMAN SKIN CELLS

The work discusses the results of experience of long-year's standing o f the staff of the Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery in the creation of a biological bandage with the use of cultivated human skin cells. A gr aft of cultivated human allofibroblasts was used for closure of burn w ounds for the first time. Its efficacy was studied in 86 cases of burn s. The use of cultivated allofibroblasts is indicated in bordering III ab degree burns and sluggishly healing donor areas formed after autod ermoplasty. Study of the efficacy of cultivated allofibroblasts in the treatment of deep durns in combination with dermoplasty with a 1:6 pe rforated skin autograft are continued. The low cost and technical simp licity of the method allow cultivated fibroblast grafts to be recommen ded for wide clinical practice.
