[Cultured human skin cells in the treatment of burns].

The work discusses the results of experience of long-year's standing of the staff of the Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery in the creation of a biological bandage with the use of cultivated human skin cells. A graft of cultivated human allofibroblasts was used for closure of burn wounds for the first time. Its efficacy was studied in 86 cases of burns. The use of cultivated allofibroblasts is indicated in bordering III ab degree burns and sluggishly healing donor areas formed after autodermoplasty. Study of the efficacy of cultivated allofibroblasts in the treatment of deep burns in combination with dermoplasty with a 1:6 perforated skin autograft are continued. The low cost and technical simplicity of the method allow cultivated fibroblast grafts to be recommended for wide clinical practice.
