This report describes the use of skin substitutes in the treatment of deep partial skin thickness burns in childhood. These are lesions that, if treated inadequately, can result in severe scarring. However, if treated appropriately, they can heal without any sequelae, which is obviously crucial for aesthetic and psychological reasons. This review contains children admitted to the authors' Burn Unit over a 5-year period (1984-88) with deep partial skin thickness lesions which were treated with synthetic and/or biosynthetic skin substitutes and without surgical procedures. This group of children has been compared with another group hospitalized for burns of the same depth and treated with conventional closed wound management. First, short-term results are presented, highlighting healing time, followed by the long-term results from an aesthetic and functional viewpoint.
