Usefulness of S-shaped Incision in Large Nevus Sequential Excision
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY We devised the S-shaped incision as a technique for large nevus sequential excision. Using this technique reduces the number of operations needed to complete nevus resection and also shortens the final length and width of the scar. We report this technique after performing it on 7 patients and confirming its usefulness.

Usefulness of Ω-shaped Incision in Skin Tumor Excision
SUMMARY We devised the Ω-shaped incision as a technique for skin tumor resection on the areas of skin with an arc-shaped fold. With this technique, the dog-ear that is formed during 6 wound closure can be resected within the range of the first skin incision. We report this technique after performing it on the face or trunk of 18 patients and confirmed its usefulness.

متن کاملS-shaped Wound Closure Technique for Dumbbell-shaped Keloids
Dog-ear collection, Z-plasty, and W-plasty are often performed for excision of dumbbell-shaped keloids; however, these procedures require additional incisions or excision of normal skin. Thus, an S-shaped wound closure technique was performed. The keloid lesions were extralesionally excised above the deep fascia, and the wound edges were shifted in opposite directions along the major axis to fo...
متن کاملClassical Fusiform Excision of Melanocytic Nevi: Our Experience
Introduction: Facial melanocytic nevi whether acquired or congenital may pose an aesthetic problem for many patients, especially women.

However, surgical excision by classical fusiform excision remains the most widely used and one of the best methods taking all perspectives into consideration. Aim: To eva...
متن کاملMultidirectional Vector Excision Leads to Better Outcomes than Traditional Elliptical Excision of Facial Congenital Melanocytic Nevus
BACKGROUND The elliptical excision is the standard method of removing benign skin lesions, such as congenital melanocytic nevi. This technique allows for primary closure, with little to no dog-ear deformity, but may sacrifice normal tissue adjacent to the lesion, resulting in scars which are unnecessarily long. This study was designed to compare the predicted results of elliptical excision with...
