Abstract
Autologous skin grafts (autografts) remain the gold standard in the treatment of skin loss. For extensive wounds or burns, however, identifying adequate donor sites can be the limiting factor. Additionally, donor sites are associated with pain, risk of infection, and poor cosmetic outcomes. Many skin substitutes have been engineered as alternatives to traditional autografts. These substitutes, however, all leave something to be desired either functionally or cosmetically. This report describes the use of a new technology, autologous homologous skin constructs, to regenerate full-thickness skin grafts that maintain functional polarity, allowing important components of skin such as glands and hair follicles to regenerate. These grafts only require small samples of full-thickness skin from the patient, decreasing issues of donor site availability.
