Abstrakt
The use of Surgicel, a local haemostatic absorbable gauze, is usually spread in surgery. The author reports a clinical case of face lift where the use of Surgicel 2, a more concentrated Surgicel, left under a precarious vascularized cutaneous flap led to a skin slough. He concludes that the full-thickness cutaneous necrosis is bound both to the chemical action of the soluble component (uronic acid) of Surgicel and above all to the "screen-effect" with the nourishing basement. Consequently, the Surgicel should be removed once the haemostasis obtained.
