It is supposed that biochemical and physical characteristics of amnioticfluid prepares the conditions for wound healing without scar formation. The goal of this study was tocompare the scar diameter of uncomplicated appendectomy by Rocky-Davis incision with scardiameter of cesarean section by Pfanneistiel incision in order to evaluate the effect of amniotic fluidon scar diameter.: According to some studies, fetal wound in contrast with adult wound heals without scarMethodsRocky-Davis incision who were pregnant or had history of cesarean in the last 18 months wereincluded (2007-2009).

These patients had no metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Patientsunderwent MRM or BCS surgery. All patients followed until 2011 April.
