Abstract:
78 patients with Port wine stains (PWS) were treated by surgical method. The result showed that surgery is useful and effective. However, surgical scars are common and the skin grafts have more dark color than surrounding (if the skin grafts were required). So it must be very carefully in making a decision for surgery and choose a suitable method for each patient. The surgery is attempted to close local skin. And in case of the skin graft is required, it is better to take a full thickness skin graft in areas near to the face and neck.
