Article Synopsis
- Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is an effective treatment for melanoma in situ (MIS), but inconsistent surgical techniques make it hard to apply current data broadly.
- To standardize MMS techniques for MIS in future studies, a modified Delphi method was used, involving expert input through voting on various surgical approaches.
- The study generated 8 consensus recommendations, with five agreed upon in the first round and the others in the second, aimed at providing uniform guidelines to improve future clinical trials.
Mixed opinions exist regarding cosmetic outcomes of 5-0 fast absorbing plain (FG) gut relative to nonabsorbable suture material, such as 5-0 polypropylene (PP). High quality randomized trials comparing these two suture materials are lacking. To determine whether the use of PP during layered repair of linear cutaneous surgery wounds improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure with FG.
