The significance of transepithelial elimination in dermatologic surgery
The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology
|June 1, 1986
Abstract:
Transepithelial elimination (TE) was found to be an important physiologic mechanism of riding the skin of foreign material introduced during cutaneous surgery, as evidenced in the histologic examination of reexcision specimens. Thus, TE of suture material, Monsel's granulomas, and starch granules are pictorially documented in several brief case reports.
