title: [Technic of delayed skin flap transplantation].
abstract: In 38 patients a "delayed skin flap transplantation" was performed after excision of malignant melanomas. The skin graft can be stored in a refrigerator at 4 degrees C for 2 weeks without damage to the transplant. The transplantation was usually done 4 days postoperatively. Advantages of this method seem to be a decreased risk of local infection, early mobilisation of the patient, and generally good cosmetic results.
