          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción y objetivo. Ante un quemado de gran extensión (más del 30%) con zonas donantes limitadas, la cobertura cutánea con la técnica de microexpansión modificada Meek es eficiente y eficaz. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir dicha técnica, revisar las publicaciones al respecto y destacar sus ventajas sobre la técnica de mallado tradicional de injertos. Material y método. Hacemos una puesta al día de los hechos históricos, descripción de la técnica quirúrgica de la microexpansión modificada Meek y revisión de la literatura con busquedas bibiografícas en inglés y español entre 1958 y 2019 empleando como palabras claves: (mesh) ´micrograft´, ´micrograft tenchnique´, Meek ´, ´Meek technique, ´major burn treatment´, y ´mesh skin graft´. Hacemos también una comparación de resultados con nuestra experiencia local. Resultados. En nuestra experiencia, entre 2008 y 2010 tratamos 4 pacientes con quemaduras extensas y zonas dadoras limitadas, todos producto de accidentes laborales, con edad media de 47 años y promedio de superficie corporal quemada total (SCQT) del 63%. Empleamos microexpansión en tasa de 1:6 logrando cierre definitivo de las lesiones a las 4 semanas. Al comparar con la literatura publicada, observamos beneficios como disminución de estancia hospitalaria, número de procedimientos quirúrgicos realizados y baja morbimortalidad. Conclusiones. La microexpansión modificada Meek en la cobertura cutánea de pacientes con quemaduras extensas y zonas dadoras de injertos limitadas constituye una herramienta eficiente y eficaz.

          Abstract Background and objective. In patients with extensive burns (greater tan 30%) and limited donor areas, skin coverage with the Meek modified microexpansión technique offers to be an efficient and effective technique. The objetive of this paper is to describe the technique, review the publications and highliht its advantages over the traditional grafting mesh technique. Methods. We update the historical facts, description of the surgical technique of the Meek modified microexpansion and review the English and Spanish literature betwen 1958 and 2019 serarching with keywords: (mesh) ´micrograft´, ´micrograft tenchnique´, Meek ´, ´Meek technique, ´major burn treatment´, y ´mesh skin graft´. Finally we compare results with our local experience. Results. In our experience, between 2008-2010, 4 patients with extensive burns and limited donor areas were treated with the Meek modified microexpansion technique for skin coverage, with an average age of 47 years and average of total burned body surface (SCQT) of 63%. Microexpansion was used at a rate of 1: 6, and definitive closure of his injuries was achieve at 4 weeks. When comparing with the published literature, benefits are shown with the decrease in hospital stay, number of surgical procedures and low morbidity and mortality Conclusions. The use of the Meek modified microexpansion tech- nique in the skin coverage of patients with extensive burns and limited graft donor areas is an efficient and effective method, compared to the dermoepidermic graft mesh technique.

              Widely expanded postage stamp skin grafts using a modified Meek technique in combination with an allograft overlay.

              A method for obtaining widely expanded postage stamp autografts, first described in 1963 by C.P. Meek, has been evaluated in our burns unit. The technique, in which an expansion ratio of 1:9 is achieved with the aid of special prefolded gauzes, was combined with an overlay of glycerol-preserved allografts applied 1 week after grafting. This delay did not appear to affect graft take. In a series of 16 consecutive skin graft procedures performed on 10 patients with extensive burns, the mean epithelialization rate was 90 per cent (range 70-100 per cent) within 5 weeks. Cosmetic results were comparable to those achieved with widely expanded mesh grafts. The Meek technique utilizes small pieces of autograft, and has proved to be a practical alternative to mesh grafts when donor sites are limited.
