Natural silk has shown good outcomes with respect to wound healing, scarring, and patient satisfaction. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of natural silk compared with that of initially used dressings for the treatment of superficial burn wounds greater than 10% of the TBSA. Patients with superficial burns covering &amp;gt;10% of the TBSA were treated with pure silk for the first time (treatment group). Complications during wound healing with respect to the need for further surgery and scarring were compared with those of patients with similar burns of more than 10% TBSA and treated with nylon mesh and collagen instead of silk (treatment group). The treatment and control group comprised 25 and 13 patients, respectively. In total, 88% of patients in the treatment group did not require further treatment, while two patients with chemical burns needed further surgeries. Moreover, patients reported high satisfaction with respect to scarring and aesthetic outcome. Meanwhile, 85% of patients in the control group healed without further surgery and showed higher median hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation after 12 months. Silk is an effective wound dressing for the treatment of large superficial burn wounds. It avoids painful dressing changes and yields satisfactory aesthetic outcomes. However, especially in large burns, careful initial wound depth assessment is crucial to prevent infection and reoperations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irz131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]],"date-time":"2019-09-19T05:51:24Z","timestamp":1568872284000},"page":"131-140","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Feasibility of Pure Silk for the Treatment of Large Superficial Burn Wounds Covering Over 10% of the Total Body Surface"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Jennifer Lynn","family":"Schiefer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Plastic, Reconstructive, Hand and Burn Surgery, Hospital Cologne Merheim, University of Witten-Herdecke, Cologne, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Daniels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Plastic, Reconstructive, Hand and Burn Surgery, Hospital Cologne Merheim, University of Witten-Herdecke, Cologne, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Grigutsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Anesthesiology, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul Christian","family":"Fuchs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Plastic, Reconstructive, Hand and Burn Surgery, Hospital Cologne Merheim, University of Witten-Herdecke, Cologne, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Schulz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Plastic, Reconstructive, Hand and Burn Surgery, Hospital Cologne Merheim, University of Witten-Herdecke, Cologne, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020020100471609300_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1087","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2011.06.005","article-title":"Epidemiology of burns throughout the world.
