Abstract
The condition of skin autografts and allografts in rats and rabbits was checked by transcutaneous Po2 measurement according to R. Huch, D. W. Lubbers and A. Huch. The tcPo2* values obtained with standardized maximal hyperemia allow conclusions concerning the oxygen supply and thus the vascularization of a transplant. This method seems suitable to monitor the healing of autografts and to register quantitatively the progress of rejection in allografts.Keywords
