Abstract:

Anatomic knowledge is critical when performing dermatologic surgery, including Mohs micrographic and reconstructive surgery. Distortion, asymmetry and functional complications can occur after the reconstruction of extensive defects. Awareness of the critical anatomic functional and cosmetic structures on the head and neck allow the surgeon to better avoid complications. Application of advanced reconstruction techniques can optimize the functional and aesthetic results.
