Immediate split-thickness autogenous skin grafts in the horse. Case reports on the treatment of equine sarcoids in 3 horses.
Three horses with equine sarcoids were treated with radical surgical excision and immediate split-thickness skin grafts. Graft take ranged from 50 to 100%, and the epithelial coverage attained resulted in an early functional repair. In no instance was there a recurrence of the sarcoid.
