The Reconstruction of Various Complex Full-Thickness Skin Defects with a Biodegradable Temporising Matrix: A Case Series
Within the limits of this small and heterogeneous case series, the BTM appears to be a promising option for the reconstruction of complex FTSDs of varying etiologies. Its successful integration in most cases and limited complication rate support its clinical potential. However, given this study's retrospective design and limited sample size, further prospective studies are required to validate these findings and assess long-term outcomes.
