Outcomes of Modified Second Intention Healing for Convex Craniofacial Mohs Defects

Authors: Rachel Graubard and Ida Orengo

Abstract: In patients with favorable wound healing profiles and surgical defects in well-perfused locations, second intention wound healing often leads to excellent cosmetic results after Mohs micrographic surgery. Second intention healing can be modified and accelerated with the use of acellular wound matrices, serving as a foundation to facilitate re-epithelialization and formation of granulation tissue.
