However,if treatment is complicated by sepsis,early skin cover of the defect becomes necessary. Options include split skin grafting,but in the presence of ongoing infection the risk of graft failure is high and limited skin is available for regrafting. We describe the novel use of a skin substitute (Integra Artificial Skin,Integra Life Sciences Corporation,Plainsboro,NJ) as an alternative to primary grafting in the management of infected giant exomphalos.展开更多
