A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Minimally Invasive Burn Care for Small, Deep Partial-Thickness Burns of the Hands and Feet Using Enzyme Debridement and Autologous Skin Cell Spray

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: We treated deep partial-thickness burns of the hands and feet in four cases using a combination of NexoBrid and ReCell autologous cell regeneration techniques, without conventional split-thickness skin graft, with good results following debridement of the eschar. <b>Methods</b>: We report cases of patients treated with a combination of the NexoBrid and ReCell techniques between 1 August 2023 and 31 July 2024. The degree of debridement and the time to complete wound closure were evaluated. Scar quality was assessed using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). <b>Results</b>: Four patients aged 0-28 years with an average total burn surface area of 1.2% were treated on two hands and two feet, with an average follow-up of 12 months; no additional surgical treatment was needed. The mean VSS score was 0.25. The patients were satisfied with the aesthetic appearance of their hands and feet, and no complications, such as hypertrophic scars, were observed. We also developed separate algorithms for sedation and analgesia management for adults and children. <b>Conclusions</b>: Using ReCell alone following debridement of small burn wounds with NexoBrid resulted in early wound closure with good scar condition and cosmetic appearance.
