Abstract Mohs surgery in the United Kingdom has traditionally been performed by dermatologists and as such training and exposure for surgeons has been limited. To address this, a 6-month fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery has been established for surgical trainees as part of the Training Interface Group (TIG) fellowship programme...

We read with interest the articles by Kiely et al. discussing the challenges of completely excising cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) with standard surgical excision. The incidence of cSCC places a significant burden on skin cancer services, and thus conventional surgical excision remains the pragmatic standard of care. However, incomplete..

Abstract Perioral facial burns have a high propensity to formation of microstomia and numerous prosthetic devices have been described that can be used postoperatively to address this problem. We introduce a novel device, the Whiston Buccal Prosthesis, which is used intraoperatively and in the early postoperative period and it acts..

Abstract Established in 2012, the Mersey Regional Centre for Mohs Surgery is the first UK Mohs service to be led by a Mohs trained Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon. We evaluate the resection requirements and reconstructive techniques of our patient group and compare their surgical outcome to that which would have been gained..

Abstract Keloid scars are pathological scars, which develop as a result of exaggerated dermal tissue proliferation following cutaneous injury and often cause physical, psychological and cosmetic problems. Various theories regarding keloidogenesis exist, however the precise pathophysiological events remain unclear. Many different treatment modalities have been implicated in their management, but..

Comparisons between Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and conventional excision (CE) have been made in the past, in particular relating to tumour recurrence rates; however, there are no comparative studies of reconstructive outcomes between these two methods in the current literature. We compared the reconstructive techniques and histological findings of our..

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a locally aggressive tumour with a propensity for perineural and perivascular invasion, resulting in a high recurrence rate even with wide surgical margins (Leibovitch I, Huilgol SC, Selva D et al. Microcystic adnexal carcinoma: treatment with Mohs micrographic surgery. J Am Acad Dermatol 2005; 52: 295-300). We..

Summary Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is the current ‘gold-standard’ for excision of a number of cutaneous lesions and provides a valuable addition to a skin cancer service. The Mersey Regional Centre for Mohs Surgery is the first MMS service in the UK to be led by an MMS trained Plastic..

Abstract There has been only one documented case in the English literature with the diagnosis of primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the nipple; we present a further case of a primary SCC of the nipple, thus raising awareness to the skin or breast specialist of this possible presentation for..

Abstract Introduction: The formation of cutaneous carcinoma has been shown to rely on neovascularization, with angiogenesis being implicated in the invasive process of skin malignancy and metastasis. To date, studies of angiogenesis have generally been limited to in vitro, animal (often murine), or postexcision histopathologic models. Methods: To demonstrate the..

Abstract It is often difficult to apply traditional ECG electrodes on patients with extensive burns due to a large operative site, compromise of sterility, the fact that traditional placement would be within the operative site or because stick-on pads cannot stick due to prep solution, bleeding and other factors. We..
