Abstract

This is a report of cases that post-operative orocutaneous through & through open wounds are healed & closed by wound contraction if soft tissue drainage was well established, which seldom is interfered with by local or systemic abnormalities. Authors also found that the localization & seguestration of infected mandible are far better performed by natural mechanisms than by cutting across involved bone.
