Evaluation of Tissue-Engineered Skin (Human Skin Substitute) and Secondary Intention Healing in the Treatment of Full Thickness Wounds after Mohs Micrographic or Excisional Surgery

Abstract

HSS appears to be a safe, well-tolerated biological dressing with equivalent comorbid factors to secondary intention healing. HSS, however, seems to produce a more pliable and less vascular scar than those developed through healing by secondary intention. HSS also appears to produce more satisfactory cosmetic results when compared to secondary intention healing.
