Thirtysix patients with a total of 89 places of skin wounds which was involved with various depths of skin were treated by application of autogenous whole layer skin mash, in which the ratio betweenepidermis and dermis was 3∶1 and the ratio between the donor area and that of the recipient ranged from 1∶5 to 1∶20. The patients were followed from 6 months to 18 months. The results were excellent in 58, good in 15, fair in 11 and bad in 5. Different depths of the skin wounds such as superficial dermis, deep dermis, subcutis and deep fascia were responsible in seqence for the decreasing percentage of survival of the microcutaneous particle graft. It was shown that a considerably high survival might be obtained in both wounds down to fat or fascial layer.
