The skin is the largest human organ system. Loss of skin integrity due to injury or illness results in a substantial physiologic imbalance and ultimately in severe disability or death. The most common cause of significant skin loss is thermal injury, followed by trauma and chronic ulcerations.
In the last decades remarkable advances happen to be produced in the knowledge of cellular and molecular processes of wound healing and also the pathobiology of chronic wounds. This understanding has brought to wound care improvements that facilitate faster closure of wounds with better functional and aesthetic outcome. A smart and resource-saving usage of these innovative technologies needs a broad understanding of those processes and improvements.
This book intends to give an overview about today's wound care developments in tissue engineering and skin replacement. It presents a variety of indications and diversities of clinical applications to help the surgeon select a specific procedure for each clinical situation.
