[The delayed split-skin coverage--use and advantages].
Abstract
In 119 patients a "delayed skin flap transplantation" was carried out after excision of malignant melanomas. The skin graft can be stored in a refrigerator at 4 degrees C up to two weeks without damage to the transplant. The transplantation may be accomplished at any time, but is usually due 3 to 4 days postoperatively. Advantages of this method are decreased risk of local infection, early mobilisation of the patient and generally good cosmetic results.
