Skin incisions for the excision of spherical cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2009
Abstract
Spherical cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions such as sebaceous cysts are often removed via an ellipse, particularly if they are relatively large. Deciding the width of the ellipse can be difficult. We calculated that if the width of the ellipse is one-third of the half circumference, then the wound should close satisfactorily.
