[Autologous human skin flaps in partial replacement of bladder wall (author's transl)]

Untreated autologous compound skin (Rehn's skin flap) was used in three patients for partial replacement of the urinary bladder wall. The early postoperative results regarding the general tendency of the healing process, primary density, capacity, and functional voiding of the bladder correspond with an ideal replacement of the bladder wall. Observations of long-term controls will be reported later.
