Background: A novel treatment has been developed to reconstruct large skin defects caused by the excision of giant congenital melanocytic nevi. It involves the reimplantation of high-hydrostatic pressurized nevus tissue as a cell-inactivated autologous scaffold for dermal regeneration, followed by the implantation of cultured epithelial autografts on the regenerated dermis. Because this treatment has shown promise in a first-in-human clinical trial which used a prototype pressure machine, a novel pressure device was specifically designed for clinical use. Methods: In a prospective investigator-initiated clinical trial involving three patients, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of the skin regeneration treatment using a pressure device. All three patients underwent surgical excision of the nevus tissue, primary reimplantation of the inactivated nevus tissue, and secondary implantation of cultured epithelial autografts. Results: Engraftment of inactivated nevus tissue and cultured epithelial autografts was successful in all three cases, with over 90% epithelialization at 8 weeks post-surgery. No serious adverse events or device malfunction were observed during the trial. Conclusion: The novel pressure device safely and effectively enabled dermal regeneration using the nevus tissue as an autologous scaffold. This innovative approach offers several advantages, including reduced invasiveness due to minimal sacrifice of normal skin for skin grafting and high curative potential resulting from full-thickness removal of the nevus tissue. |
