Abstract

Introduction: stem cells derived from adipose tissue have great therapeutic potential because they are inexpensive and invasive to obtain and their number is greater than that of bone marrow progenitors.

Objective: to characterize the results of the use of mesenchymal stem cells from autologous fat tissue in dermal burns.

Methods: quasi-experimental, exploratory, controlled, open, single-center, longitudinal and prospective study. The universe and the sample coincide from a non-probabilistic intentional sampling, all patients who attended the outpatient clinic of Plastic Surgery and Caumatology of the Hospital Clínico-Quirúrgico Docente “Dr. Miguel Enríquez” with deep dermal burns of up to 3% of body surface were taken into account.

Results: the ages most prone to suffer burns, in this sample, are those between 19 and 34 years old (almost 65 % of those treated). By sex, men between 25 and 29 years of age accounted for almost one out of every five burn victims. The healing time of the patients treated with mesenchymal stem cells was less than seven days (more than 80 % of the patients) and only one patient took more than 14 days to heal. The main complication presented was bleeding, with almost a third of the cases treated.

Conclusions: multiple resources have been allocated by health systems to accelerate the epithelialization process and/or seek skin coverage, and today there is still no real and efficient mechanism to solve this problem.
