The Effects of Primary Defect Characteristics on Reconstruction Type and Adjunctive Intervention in Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A Retrospective Review.

CONCLUSIONS: Both defect subunit and closure type were independently associated with adjunctive cosmetic intervention following MMS. Defect size was not significantly associated with an adjunctive intervention in our study. Understanding the factors affecting the need for adjunctive cosmetic interventions may improve patient counseling prior to Mohs repair. J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(3): doi:10.36849/JDD.2020.4701.
