Résumé
Wound healing in the pediatric population is known to be a challenge and poorly studied. Split-thickness skin grafts, full-thickness skin grafts, and flaps overlap their applications with the growing field of cellular and tissue-based therapies. However, their role in pediatric reconstruction has yet to be defined. The Kerecis <sup>®</sup> Omega-3 wound patch, derived from decellularized codfish skin, has garnered attention due to its preserved microscopic architecture resembling the human extracellular matrix. This acellular dermal matrix acts as a scaffold, fostering dermal cell and capillary adhesion while harnessing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for granulation acceleration and antimicrobial effects. This study presents a comprehensive review and surgical protocol for utilizing Kerecis <sup>®</sup> fish skin in pediatric wound care. The research embraces a case series involving five patients with diverse wound locations. The Kerecis <sup>®</sup> Omega-3 wound patch underwent meticulous application and careful monitoring. The results highlight an average time of 48.6 days for complete epithelialization, yielding favorable outcomes with no hypertrophic scarring and mild retraction. Kerecis <sup>®</sup> fish skin grafting stands as a tool that not only accelerates healing but also addresses the multifaceted challenges associated with wound management in the pediatric population: the avoidance of donor site morbidity and improved postoperative pain control.
