title: Facial scars resulting from vehicular accidents.
abstract: The surgeon will be better able to cope with the problem of scars as he understands the nature of wound healing and as advances are made in the knowledge of the physiology and biochemistry of tissues. Still there do remain the all-important careful handling of tissues, adequate wound repair, and adequate postoperative care of the wound and the patient.
