10 Years of Mohs Micrographic Surgery in Denmark: Results from a Nationwide Cohort.
Acta Derm Venereol
January 2025
Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin malignancy and constitutes a burden for patients and society. Mohs micrographic surgery is a recommended treatment for high-risk basal cell carcinoma, but long-term outcomes of Mohs micrographic surgery in Denmark are unknown. This study aimed to estimate the 5-year recurrence rate of basal cell carcinoma following Mohs micrographic surgery, and to investigate patient and procedure characteristics since the introduction of the procedure in Denmark.

Objective: We aim to demonstrate the utility of bovine collagen xenografts in supplementing second-intention healing of a variety of nose surgical defects.
Results: Thirty-nine patients underwent Mohs micrographic surgery of the nasal tip (33%), ala (23%), dorsum (31%), sidewall (10%), and root (3%) with the application of bovine collagen xenograft.
MOHS Patients Can Reliably Estimate Preoperative Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Size.
Skinmed
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.
As the presurgical size and anatomic location of non-melanoma skin cancer correlates to the complexity of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), patients are frequently asked to self-report their preoperative tumor size to aid in efficient scheduling and triage. We aimed to assess the accuracy of patient's self-reported lesion measurements prior to MMS by comparing patient's estimates of lesion size to the measurements taken by a Mohs surgeon. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 1,000 patients who underwent MMS and self-reported their lesion size at a preoperative telehealth visit.

A validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for patients who undergo Mohs reconstruction is not yet established. This study aims to systematically assess the quality of existing PROMs to determine their effectiveness in capturing the challenges faced after Mohs reconstruction for facial NMSC.

For proper reconstruction of scalp and forehead defects following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), knowledge of the unique anatomy and aesthetic importance of these structures is necessary to restore function and appearance. However, the inflexibility, convexity, and hair-bearing nature of the scalp and forehead can make reconstruction challenging. Detailed planning and precise management are essential to achieve adequate reconstructive results.
