Skin Color Matching in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery (NCT07431099)
Skin Color Matching in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery Using RECELLยฎ Autologous Skin Cell Suspension: A Prospective, Pilot Study
๐ฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will examine whether cutaneous reconstruction with RECELLยฎ atop de-epithelialized tissue provides better skin color matching than standard grafting methods. The goal is to compare color match, healing, and patient satisfaction across three reconstruction techniques. Color matching will be assessed using colorimeter-based ฮE00 measurements at set postoperative intervals. All patients will receive the same intervention.
