Abstract:
Large disposable circular trephines have been developed specially for circular excision biopsy of the skin. This technique is a simple and practical alternative to the traditional method of excision. It has the advantages of aligning the incision in the direction of the maximum skin tensions and reducing the length of the final wound closure.
