Abstract
A technique is described using the epithelium over a keloid as a graft after excision of the keloid. Advantages of this procedure are availability of skin and avoidance of the danger of keloid formation in a distant donor site. Results in a series of five patients followed for five years were satisfactory in three.Keywords
