Unusual use of a common skin flap for a large cutaneous defect following Mohs surgery for lentigo maligna of the cheek: A case report

The bilobed flap is most often used for the reconstruction of small cutaneous defect of the nose. Under certain circumstances, it can also be useful in the reconstruction of much larger defects of the face. Our objective is to report a case of bilobed flap reconstruction in a patient with a large defect of the zygomatic cheek following a Mohs micrographic surgery for lentigo maligna

Variable response of post-Mohs surgery telangiectasias to KTP laser: A case report

A common but under-recognized complication of Mohs micrographic surgery is the development of surgical site telangiectasias after repair. Treatment with pulsed dye laser has shown good results in treating periscar telangiectasias, while treatment with KTP laser has never been studied for this complication. We report the findings in six patients with persistent telangiectasias post-Mohs micrographic surgery and their response to treatment with KTP laser. After one treatment with KTP laser, the severity of telangiectasias, scar erythema, and patient and physician-rated improvement were recorded. Response to KTP laser was variable. However, this case series suggests that KTP laser may have the potential to improve the appearance of periscar telangiectasia after Mohs micrographic surgery
