Retrospective review of reconstructive methods of conchal bowl defects following mohs micrographic surgery.
Dermatologic Surgery : Official Publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et Al.] 2001 May
BACKGROUND: Mohs micrographic surgery has consistently been demonstrated to be the most effective method for excision of potentially aggressive lesions of the conchal bowl. A variety of techniques are employed to reconstruct the conchal bowl following surgery.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the type and frequency of reconstruction techniques used and the factors influencing the surgeons choice of reconstruction
METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 272 patients with conchal bowl tumors.
RESULTS: Split thickness skin grafting was the preferred method of reconstruction. The histopathology of the lesions and the size of the post-Mohs defect did not influence the choice of technique, except for lesions less than 1 cm in which healing by secondary intention was favored.
CONCLUSION: Tumor size, type, and aggressiveness did not influence repair technique choice. Surgeon preference was therefore the principle factor dictating method of reconstructive technique following Mohs micrographic surgery.
