To observe the clinical effect of acellular allogenic dermis with split-thickness autogenous skin graft for coverage of wound. Acellular allogenic dermis with split-thickness autogenous skin graft was used to repair 34 wounds of head, neck, trunk and extremities. The area of wounds was from 5 cm x 10 cm to 12 cm x 19 cm. Out of 34 wounds, there were 2 due to old granulation, 4 due to excision of giant pigmented nevus, 6 due to excision of capillary hemangioma of skin and 22 due to excision of scar. All grafts survived and had the smooth surface without obvious pigmentation and with slight wound contraction. Acellular allogenic dermis with autologous epithelium for coverage of various wounds is an ideal procedure.
