- The study investigates the effectiveness of a surgical logbook for clinicians to document skin surgeries and analyze their outcomes, especially focusing on excision rates in a dermatology department.
- Data was collected over a six-year period from over 5000 skin excisions, revealing a high overall complete excision rate of 97.07% and good diagnostic accuracy for various skin cancers.
- The findings suggest that the logbook serves as a valuable educational and analytical tool that can enhance surgical practices and improve excision outcomes in clinicians' careers.
