Prospective Evaluation of Obese Patients Undergoing Autologous Abdominal Free Flap Breast Reconstruction.

abstract：:There are several anecdotal clinical articles claiming wound healing and scar superiority using obsidian (volcanic glass) scalpels. In order to determine if skin incisions made with obsidian were superior to those made with standard surgical steel, wound tensile strength, scar width, and histology were assessed in 40 ...
