Journal Title: Journal of Surgical Dermatology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Reconstruction of axillary defects following surgery or trauma has always been a significant challenge for plastic surgeons. A variety of reconstruction options are available, including directed cicatrization, skin grafts and local flaps, but all of these procedures may allow skin contracture and leave unsightly scars.
