The Effect of 13‐cis‐Retinoic Acid on Wound Healing in Dogs

Abstract
13-cis-retinoic acid is currently accepted as a valuable treatment for patients with severe nodulocystic acne. Many of these individuals express interest in surgical scar-correcting procedures. To ascertain the effect of 13-cis-retinoic acid on wound healing, sequential biopsies were examined from partial and full-thickness wounds in dogs following a 2-month course of retinoids. No significant difference was histologically observed from the control animal.
