Abstract: Objective To discuss the clinical application of Meek skin grafting technique.Methods Sixteen patients with TBSA>30% were treated by Meek grafting technique,and the results were compared with a control group treated with traditional stamp skin grafting.The skin expanding rate,graft survival,operating time,medical expense,and skin scar formation were evaluated and compared between the two groups.Results In the 16 cases managed with Meek grafting technique,the graft survival rate was above 95%,and there were significant differences in all the observed indices between Meek grafting group and the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Meek skin grafting technique possesses the advantages of more economic donor skin use,shorter operating time and hospital stay with reduced cost,and provides a good option for management of severely burned patients.
