There is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among dermatological surgeons, particularly in the neck, upper and lower back, and shoulders. We performed an international survey which revealed a lack of ergonomic education and use of ergonomic tools in dermatological surgery. Most respondents were aware of bad posture during surgery, but few regularly checked their posture. Behavioural interventions, such as alternating between standing and sitting, and taking frequent breaks, are recommended to reduce pain. Ergonomic workstation adaptations, including the use of surgical loupes, good lighting and adjustable stools, are crucial for reducing strain.

"Mosaic graft" technique and surgical dermal glue in Mohs micrographic surgery and general dermatologic surgery.
Dermatol Reports
February 2025
Centro Dermatologico Vdermastudio, Viareggio.
After Mohs micrographic surgery, derm surgeons utilize local flaps, full or partial thickness grafts, with good or acceptable cosmetic results. When we are dealing with older and problematic patients, blood thinner users, and non-collaborative people with large facial neoplasms, using flaps may be very difficult, and grafts become the best choice. Our aim was to assess a technique to graft very easily, quickly, and safely, full-thickness skin grafts in facial wounds, and have good cosmetic results in those older and problematic people.

Division of Regenerative and Oncological Dermatological Surgery, Modena University Hospital.
In patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), surgery may be required to remove squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the hands or to correct pseudo-syndactyly. Dermal substitutes may represent a suitable tool to promote the healing of surgical wounds in EB. We review our experience with a collagen-elastin dermal matrix to promote surgical wound healing due to hand surgery to correct pseudo-syndactyly or SCC resection in patients affected by EB.

The Skin Hospital, Westmead, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: Australia and New Zealand face the world's highest skin cancer rates, with non-metropolitan regions bearing a greater burden. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the gold-standard treatment for keratinocyte cancers (KCs) due to high cure rates and tissue-sparing benefits. This study evaluates whether Outside Metropolitan Sydney (OMS) patients present with larger tumours and defects than Sydney Metropolitan Area (SMA) patients.

Introduction: Literature about trichoscopy of permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia (pCIA) is still scarce, while no data were published regarding reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). The aim of our study is to monitor the different phases of chemotherapy-induced alopecia development with trichoscopy and RCM, in order to identify predictor factors for permanent alopecia.
Methods: This multicentre, prospective, observational study evaluated patients with cancer who were candidates for chemotherapy with a drug implicated in pCIA development.
Acquired digital periungual fibrokeratoma in a 36-year-old male: case report and an update.

Onkoderma-Clinic for Dermatology, Venereology and Dermatologic Surgery, General Skobelev 26, 1606, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Acquired digital fibrokeratoma (ADFK) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor often presenting as a small, firm, hyperkeratotic lesion, typically located in the periungual or subungual regions of the digits. Though benign, ADFK can lead to significant functional or cosmetic issues and may be mistaken for more serious conditions such as squamous cell carcinoma or pyogenic granuloma. We report the case of a 36-year-old male with a 3- to 4‑year history of a progressively enlarging periungual tumor leading to nail deformity and mild pressure effects on the underlying bone.
