Does resection of the external table with immediate split skin graft coverage improve outcomes in patients with angiosarcoma of the scalp?
Resection of the external table with immediate split skin graft coverage is a time-saving procedure with a low rate of complications for patients with angiosarcoma of the scalp.
Buschmann et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Angiosarcoma of the scalp (n=19). Resection of the external table with immediate split skin graft was evaluated on Average survival period after resection (months). Resection of the external table with immediate split skin graft for scalp angiosarcoma yielded an average recurrence-free period of 2.7 months and an average survival of 17.5 months.
