The study aimed to evaluate how effective plastic surgery is in treating giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) through various surgical techniques.
A total of 20 patients with 44 lesions underwent procedures like serial excision, skin grafting, and tissue expansion, with outcomes assessed at 10 days and 6 months post-surgery.
Results showed that serial excision had the best outcomes, with most patients reporting positive results from skin grafting and tissue expansion as well, confirming that plastic surgery is a viable treatment for GCMN.
