Adipose Tissue for Wound Repair

Wound repair is a complex and dynamic process. Soft-tissue reconstruction represents a clinical problem of difficult solution. Cell therapy using autologous adipose cells favours wound-healing process by reducing the time needed for the host cells to invade the wound tissue and by accelerating the synthesis of new skin. The aim of this study is to show our clinical experience in treating patients with acute and chronic wounds by using autologous adipose tissue cells. No complications were observed in any of the patients in the adipose tissue extraction or in the wound application. All patients were cured of their wounds without any complications. All patients’ wounds healed (acute and chronic) without any complications. A faster healing process was noted in wound beds without hypoxia. Hypoxic wounds were larger than those without hypoxia, and this difference was statistically significant. Healing took an average of 60 (30–90 days) days. The application of autologous adipose graft is a simple and safe treatment for wound repair and is also affective in patients with coagulation disorders.
