Transversal incision facilitates - from the technological point of view - the removal of mammary gland. The same goal may be obtained applying incision in submammary furrow. The operation of this type may be done in selected cases of mammary cancers.

[Healing of the donor area after transplantation of splitted grafts]. / Wundheilung nach Entnahme von Spalthautlappentransplantaten

The healing of wounds in the donor area of splitted grafts was observed. The transplants served to graft an already existing wound which had not healed spontaneously. 120 wounds sustained by 95 patients were examined either histologically or by Rebuck's method of skin fenestration. 30 wounds were dressed with ointment and tulle, in 55 cases the wound was covered with perforated cellophane and an Allen-Koch compression bandage. These patients also received 1500 mg Complain in 500 ml physiological saline solution daily, by continuous drip infusion, for three days postoperatively. In 35 patients the wounds were only covered with perforated cellophane, but without additional medication. The application of Complamin shortened the healing process to seven to ten days in contrast to the control group where the wounds took 15 to 17 days to heal.
