Use of bilaminar grafts as life-saving interventions for severe burns: A single-center experience
Severe burns provoke devastating injuries associated with elevated short-term mortality and long-term morbidity rates. Moreover, they comprise a significant proportion of healthcare resources when compared with other traumatic and acute care hospitalizations [1]. Of the many factors responsible for poor outcomes, wound coverage plays a critical role in patients ’ prognosis. Limited, and sometimes inexistent, donor sites have urged surgeons and scientists to develop various techniques for grafting of large-sized burn victims [2].
