Abstract
|
|
|
The effect upon the survival of skin flaps of direct current(D.C.) electric fields were studied on the back of the Sparque-Dawley rats in this study.
Twenty rats were divided into two groups-ten rats in control group and ten in electrically stimulated group. Skin flap(2x8cm ; width?length) was made on the back of each rat. In electricallystimulated group, disk button battery(1.5 volt) and
cupper
electrodes were implanted near the flap and continious electric field of 0.9mA was obtained. In control group, no electric field was made with discnnection of battery and cupper wires.
The area of survived flap were measured in 5th post-operative day and compared wit each group.
The results was as 19.4% increased in the survived area of the flap in the electrically stimulated group.
