Effects of laser, scalpel, and electrosurgical excision on wound contracture and graft "take".

abstract：BACKGROUND:Limb-sparing surgery, consisting of wide-margin tumor resection and preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy/chemotherapy, has become the surgical treatment of choice for extremity sarcomas. However, adequate tumor resection can sometimes compromise crucial limb function, necessitating functional restorati...
