Successful Meek skin grafting combined with a synthetic dermal matrix in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa

We believe this is the first documented use of the Meek technique in patients with EB, as well as the first use of the Meek technique in conjunction with a FTSG. The combination of a dermal substitute along with the full-thickness Meek skin grafting technique allowed successful and stable reconstruction of a large wound with a minimal donor site, avoiding amputation in this patient. This case demonstrates the potential of this method in this subgroup of patients with impaired wound healing and often limited suitable donor sites.
