Even Better Than the Real Thing? Xenografting in Pediatric Patients with Scald Injury

摘要

This article reviews a single burn center experience with porcine xenografts to treat pediatric scald injuries, over a 10-year period. The authors compare xenografting to auto grafting, as well as wound care only, and provide outcome data on length of stay, incidence of health care associated infections, and need for reconstructive surgery.
