Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutical effect of the tangential excision of razor graft for the spacious giant congenital naevi in children.
METHODSThe surface layer of the giant naevi, mainly razor graft, was excised tangentially using electrical dermatome. Then the left naevi was removed by dermabrasion.
RESULTSThe satisfactory effects were obtained in 9 of 16 cases. The colour of operative area approached the normal skin, occasionally with scattered pigmentation and hypertrophic scars. In 6 cases, the colour appeared lighter than before. One case relapsed after half a year.
CONCLUSIONSThe congenital giant naevi in children could be treated using the tangential excision of razor graft. The short-term results might be expected.
