  abstract     = {{Introduction: Advancements in resuscitative care and burn surgery have improved survival rates after extensive burn injuries, shifting focus to enhancing the quality of survival. Conventional treatment with split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) presents limitations such as donor-site morbidity, limited availability in extensive burn injuries, and hypertrophic scarring. Tissue engineering aims to address these drawbacks by developing optimal skin substitutes. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the current applications of cultured cells in burn surgery, encompassing diverse approaches and addressing existing challenges to enhance burn wound management and improve patient outcomes. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was performed across three databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library) for articles on cultured cell use in burn treatment. Only clinical studies were included. Articles were screened by two independent reviewers. Quality assessment was performed. Results: The search yielded 167 articles, of which 14 met the eligibility criteria. The selection included 8 randomized controlled trials, 5 prospective cohort trials, and 1 retrospective cohort study. Various tissue-engineered skin substitutes, from cultured epidermal autografts to dermal regeneration templates seeded with cultured cells, showed promising outcomes. Several substitutes exhibited take rates comparable to STSG with improved scar quality. Conclusion: Results are promising, though standardization of cultured skin substitutes and robust clinical trials with larger populations and appropriate comparators are still lacking.
