      Abstract

      Intravenous fluorescein dye given at the time of operation has been shown to be a simple, safe, efficient, and inexpensive method of predicting the location and extent of skin sloughs after radical cancer operations and amputations. Suggestions have been made for the possible prevention of this troublesome complication.
