Study design: Case Report
Abstract: A bilaminated dermal regeneration substitute usually requires a two-step procedure to achieve wound closure. Integra thin® (Integra Life sciences Crop., NJ, USA) is thinner than bilayer Integra® and does not require additional waiting time for the formation of the neodermis, making it possible to undertake the reconstruction of full-thickness skin defects in a single-stage procedure. We describe the successful use of Integra thin® in a single-stage procedure in combination with a split-thickness skin graft in a patient who was diagnosed with cutaneous malignancy after surgery.
