IADVL dermatosurgery guidelines: charting uncharted territory.

After more than a year’s hard work by Dr. Venkataram and his group, I am happy that IADVL is now publishing these guidelines written by IADVL members for IADVL members in a special issue of IJDVL. Carefully chosen authors, who are pioneers in their own fields, have contributed chapters for this issue. They have taken many pains to author these chapters and I individually congratulate them for their efforts. These chapters have been peer reviewed and suggestions received have been acted upon. I take this opportunity to thank the reviewers for their time and efforts. Lastly, I would be failing in my duties if I did not acknowledge the efforts of Dr. Mysore Venkataram and Dr. Uday Khopkar who have given the final shape to this project of IADVL. They deserve all accolades for their untiring efforts.
