چکیده
Ergonomic practice increases the productivity, quality, and longevity of the dermatologic surgeon. When used properly, magnification devices can be ergonomic and beneficial additions to the dermatologic surgeon's practice. Herein, we review the available magnification options for the dermatologic surgeon and evaluate the options based on cost, design, and functional advantages and disadvantages. Magnification for the dermatologic surgeon may be a useful tool for a healthier, more efficient, and higher-quality practice.

The use of operating spectacles goes back just over one hundred years; the first were simple presbyopic corrections, later increased to over-correction and later coupled with the use of base-in prisms. Magnification was increased by displacement on the nose to increase the back vertex distance. About 1880, the limited magnification available with a single lens was overcome by the use of compoun...

متن کاملCurettage prior to Mohs' micrographic surgery for previously biopsied nonmelanoma skin cancers: what are we curetting? Retrospective, prospective, and comparative study.
BACKGROUND Curettage prior to excision and Mohs' micrographic surgery for nonmelanoma skin cancer is performed based on the assumption that the curette will remove softer, more friable tumor-infiltrated dermis and leave structurally intact normal skin. This assumption, however, has not been objectively examined in the dermatologic surgery literature. OBJECTIVE We performed a study to examine ...
متن کاملA New Wavelet Based Spatio-temporal Method for Magnification of Subtle Motions in Video
Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...
متن کاملRepair of a large, exposed-cartilage nasal tip defect using nasalis-based subcutaneous pedicle flaps and full-thickness skin grafting.
Large full-thickness nasal tip defects after Mohs surgery present a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The interpolated paramedian forehead flap is the standard modality to repair such defects, especially when exposed cartilage is present. Despite providing an excellent cosmetic outcome, some patients are reluctant to undergo this procedure due to the associated temporary deformity, the p...
