    Author: Elander A, Lossing C.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 2000 Aug 30; 97(35):3730-6. PubMed ID: 11016225.
    Abstract:
    The basic techniques of plastic surgery are of great practical importance in achieving the best possible results when reconstructing skin and subcutaneous tissue. Knowledge of the anatomy of the skin and the normal healing process is also essential. These fundamental principles of skin surgery include appropriate methods of infiltration anesthesia. Detailed descriptions of the technique of skin incision, excision of skin lesions and control of bleeding are given. Techniques of skin suture are described, and recommendations for optimal timing of suture removal and treatment of scar tissue are provided.
