[Oblique-angled incision of the skin]

The results of using an obliquely-splitting incision of the skin in 105 patients were studied. A good cosmetic effect without the formation of a coarse scar elevated above the skin surface was produced in all of them. It was achieved due to preservation of the tissue trophics. The skin is cut at an angle of 15 degrees to the skin surface in the region of the operation, as a result of which angular splitting of the epidermis 1.2-1.5 cm wide is formed. At the end of the operation the flaps are apposed tile-like and sutured with buried interrupted or removable mattress sutures.
