“…Because of the risk of scarring and distortion of the eyelid as a result of granulation healing (Baylis & Cies 1975), we have chosen to reconstruct the eyelid immediately after the excision of the tumour even though excellent results have been reported after granulation (Mehta 1989). However, the skin in the medial canthal area can be left to granulate spontaneously with a satisfactory outcome provided the position of the eyelids is correct (Müllner et al 1995).…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To report our experience of reconstruction and follow-up of eyelid basal cell carcinomas treated with Mohs' micrographic technique. Methods: Sixty-four periocular basal cell carcinomas, with a high risk of recurrence in one or more aspects with regard to location, size, morphology or prior treatment, were excised using Mohs' micrographic technique. All ensuing defects were repaired. The cases were followed prospectively for up to ten years. All complications and interventions were documented during the follow-up period. Results: The average size of the defect before repair was 21 mm (range 5-45 mm). The mean follow-up time was 49 months (range 3-120). The recurrence rate was 5% (3 of 64 cases). The three recurrences occurred after one, four and six years, respectively. Conclusions: The recurrence rate of high risk tumours reported in this study was less than reported with other modes of treatment and comparable with that in other studies using Mohs' micrographic technique.

Each year, it is estimated, more than 500,000 new cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer develop. The majority of these cutaneous neoplasms are treated by various modalities that include excision, electrodesiccation and curettage, cryosurgery, and irradiation, with greater than 90% success. Certain of the remaining primary tumors, as well as recurrent carcinomas, present a demanding therapeutic challenge. For these lesions, Mohs surgery has evolved as the most reliable and cost-effective treatment modality, offering maximal preservation of normal tissue and therefore the lowest functional and cosmetic morbidity. In this review, the history and evolution of Mohs surgery and the technique itself will be briefly outlined. The indications for Mohs surgery, together with methods of handling the postoperative wound and future applications of the technique, will be discussed in detail.
