This paper presents a dermal replacement technique for cutaneous wounds of diverse origin. An autologous tissue-engineered dermal-like structure was implanted in one patient with an acute surgical excision of a nevus and in another patient with a chronic post-traumatic ulcer. The dermal constructs were well integrated with the wound area, and, at 3 weeks, an epidermal covering was implanted. In both cases, 3 to 8 weeks after autografting, good integration of the transplanted epidermis with the surrounding native skin and a good take over the dermal-like tissue occurred. The use of this technology, despite its high cost, is increasing. Clinicians choose it because it helps heal critical wounds for which current therapies have failed.
