An observational study was carried out at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit of the University of Pavia – Salvatore Maugeri Research and Care Institute, Pavia, Italy, to assess the clinical and histological longâ€term outcomes of autologous skin grafting of fresh surgical wounds following previous repair with a hyaluronic acid threeâ€dimensional scaffold (Hyalomatrix®). Eleven fresh wounds from surgical release of retracted scars were enrolled in this study. A stable skinâ€like tissue cover was observed in all of the treated wounds in an average 1 month’s time; at the end of this study, after an average of 12 months’ time, all of the reconstructed areas were pliable and stable, although an average retraction rate of 51·62% was showed
