BCL-2 and Bax Expression in Skin Flaps Treated with Finasteride or Azelaic Acid

Abstract

Despite all modern surgical techniques, skin flap that is considered as the main method in most reconstructive surgeries puts the skin tissue at danger of necrosis and apoptosis derived from ischemia. Therefore, finding a treatment for decreasing the apoptosis derived from flap ischemia will be useful in clinic.
