[Grafts for surgery of the anus (author's transl)]. 1977

M Vigoni

In surgery of the anus, grafts should be used as a complement to the extensive resections of lesions such as: skin tumors, radiotherapic lesions, resistant itching, chronic infection, pilonidal cysts, multiple fistulae. Such grafts are useful in many instances because they shorten the period of healing and insure a better skin cover. Grafts used in anal surgery are: the Davis-patch type, the free skin type and the pedicle-flap type. Each has its own indications. They are immediate or delayed. The author's experience indicates that indications for grafts are frequent, that their effects are always favorable and that the rate of failure is very low despite the risk of contamination from the proximity with the anus.
