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.

Background: The Brunelli flap is an option in the reconstruction of the thumb after trauma or oncological resections. The arc of movement of the flap makes it possible to resolve defects in the proximal, palmar, dorsal, and lateral regions.
Methods: We present a case series of 11 patients in whom a Brunelli flap was performed for postoncological reconstruction, melanoma in situ, and invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the thumb nail unit associated with Mohs micrographic surgery.

Background: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are at increased risk of developing nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC), which may require treatment by Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Previous small-scale studies yielded conflicting findings on post-MMS complications in immunosuppressed individuals, and large-scale population-based analyses for SOTRs undergoing MMS are lacking.
Objective: The authors investigate postoperative complications after MMS in SOTRs using the TriNetX database of over 106 million patients in the US Collaborative Network.
