“…A pilot study will determine the efficacy of the described methodology and compare the results with less complicated wounds healed by "primary intention" (Summers and Siegle, 1993) [18] using sutures, staples or tape. Finally, lengths of sutures used to close a wound will get exposed to primary epidermal and dermal cells.…”

Regenerative medicine has brought about refreshing new thinking about age old problems. However, some problems remain mostly untouched and are not being addressed. A point in question is the track of scar tissue left behind post-operatively, which reveals the surgeon's line of invasive incision. This confers on the patient an adverse psychological reminder and burden for the rest of his/her life. Most patients cannot afford corrective plastic surgery to ameliorate this skin defect. This paper seeks to ask whether biomedical scientists could play a role in arriving at a more pleasing cosmetic result, using a simple cell culture procedure of isolating un-manipulated autologous primary epidermal and dermal cells from a small skin tissue segment in close proximity to the surgeon's incision line.

“…Medications, allergies, musculoskeletal infirmities, and substance dependence may limit closure choices and postoperative wound care capabilities. The overall physical condition of the patient and the ability to withstand lengthy, complex, or multistage procedures should be assessed and discussed in the context of each closure option [3,15]. Preoperative education including the risks, benefits, alternatives, expected outcomes, recovery time, wound care, and required postoperative follow-up is essential to maximize patient compliance and satisfaction with the result [6].…”

Plastic reconstruction of facial skin defects after tumor surgery is a commonly accepted principle. However, healing by secondary intention is discussed controversially. Here we describe a series of 22 patients after full thickness resection of basal cell carcinoma who underwent wound healing by secondary intention. A semipermeable membrane was used for wound dressing, which was changed on a weekly basis. No antibiotics or pain killers were necessary. Defects up to 2 cm, particularly those of concave subunits of the midface, entirely closed within 4-6 weeks, and secondary wound healing led to excellent functional and aesthetic results. Thus, secondary wound healing is a safe, effective and economic alternative to surgical reconstruction in selected facial areas.
