Author(s) : SHEPHERD J. P., DAWBER R. P. R.
Type of article: Article
Summary
LACK OF SCARRING AFTER CRYOSURGERY HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED EXPERIMENTALLY BY COMPARING THE EFFECTS ON THE SKIN OF FOUR FREEZE-THAW SCHEDULES COMMONLY USED IN CLINICAL PRACTICE WITH THOSE OF MAXIMAL CRYOSURGICAL INJURY. ABSENCE OF DAMAGE TO COLLAGEN IS DESCRIBED. CHANGES IN SKIN THICKNESS OVER A 6-MONTH PERIOD ARE DESCRIBED, AND OBVIOUS SCARRING AFTER SEVERE INJURY AND LONG-TERM DERMIS THINNING AFTER LESS SEVERE INJURY ARE REPORTED. EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED THAT EPIDERMAL CELLS AND FIBROBLASTS DIFFER IN THEIR SUSCEPTIBILITY TO LOW-TEMPERATURE DAMAGE.
