Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to address the limited knowledge regarding patient well- being and nasal function after interpolated flap repair of post-Mohs surgical defects on the nose. Improved understanding of the patient experience will allow providers to better counsel their patients pre-operatively and potentially identify patients who may benefit from additional interventions.
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) followed by skin reconstruction has been widely accepted for treatment of many skin cancers. To further characterize the trends in MMS and reconstruction for skin cancer, a retrospective analysis will be performed using the Optum© Clinformatics® DataMart de-identified commercial claims database from 2001-2016. The findings may provide critical data for future prospective studies in skin cancer treatments.
A retrospective cohort study of early and late period postoperative scars using previously validated survey measures and clinical photographs. The target population consists of participants treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for a facial skin cancer by the division of dermatologic surgery. This study aims to determine if patient assessment of scar appearance correlates with physician ratings and/or third-person observer ratings. Secondary goals are to assess for correlations between early post-operative scar appearance and long-term scar appearance as well as identification of predictive factors for scar healing.
Patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) frequently experience anxiety. It has been suggested that enhanced patient education prior to the procedure may decrease patient anxiety. The purpose of the study is to investigate if optimized participant education enhances participant understanding, decreases participant anxiety and increases participant satisfaction.
