Dermatosurgery in Dermatology
Daška Štulhofer Buzina
Abstract
The main quality of dermatosurgery lies in its
simplicity and effectiveness. Nevertheless, interventions without
adequate indication may result in unnecessary scaring and
various complications. A range of techniques for treating benign
and malignant skin disorders are described in the article. The
correct surgical procedure depends on the differential diagnosis,
and the type and extent of treatment. The author provides an
overview of basic dermatosurgical techniques and possible
complications in dermatosurgical practice.
