“…Therefore, general practitioners are forced to refer patients who require operative treatment to surgical departments, regardless of the fact that the case is complex due to the surgery itself or because of patient-related factors. In contrast, dermatosurgery is an essential pillar of inpatient treatment, with up to 46% inpatient bed utilization in dermatology wards in western countries [11,29]. Nonetheless, in 2012, the patients hospitalized with skin cancer in Germany were treated in non-dermatological departments in over half of the cases [30].…”

“…Z tego powodu lekarze ogólni są zmuszeni kierować pacjentów wymagających Dermatology Review/Przegląd Dermatologiczny 2021/1 leczenia operacyjnego na oddziały chirurgiczne, niezależnie od tego, czy dany przypadek jest skomplikowany ze względu na charakter zabiegu lub uwarunkowania związane z chorym. Dermatochirurgia stanowi filar leczenia szpitalnego, odpowiada za nawet 46% wykorzystania łóżek szpitalnych na oddziałach dermatologicznych w krajach zachodnich [11,29]. Niemniej w 2012 roku pacjenci hospitalizowani z powodu raka skóry w Niemczech w ponad połowie przypadków byli leczeni na oddziałach niedermatologicznych [30].…”

Introduction. Over the last few decades, an increasing proportion of skin diseases has been treated in non-dermatology wards. Objective. Identification of the 30 most common dermatologic conditions subject to hospitalization reported by dermatologists and non--dermatologists in Poland. Material and methods. A quantitative analysis of clinical data of the Polish National Health Fund for the year 2018 has been performed. Results. Over 245,000 hospitalizations with regard to skin-related problems were identified, including 99,500 one-day hospitalizations. Seventy-six percent of all hospitalizations were reported in non-dermatology departments, 27% of which required a surgical procedure. Dermal infections (L03, L02, L05, A46, B08, B02) and skin tumors (D21, D23, D17, C44) were the most common reasons for hospitalization, accounting for over 30% of all hospital stays, frequently in general surgical wards. Non-dermatology wards (mostly surgical and pediatric) reported a significant proportion of emergency admissions due to cellulitis, urticaria, lower extremity ulcers, erysipelas, pressure ulcer, viral infections, and thermal and chemical burns of the trunk. Systemic connective tissue diseases were mostly treated by rheumatologists. The diseases most frequently treated by dermatologists were psoriasis (33.5% of all admissions), dermatitis (23.8%), malignant skin neoplasms (12.5%), non-malignant skin neoplasms (10.5%) and lower extremity ulcers (L97) (10.5%). Patients in dermatology wards were older than those in non-dermatology ones (52.3 years versus 42.8 years respectively, p < 0.001). The average length of stay (ALOS) was 5.1 days, but patients in dermatology wards stayed longer (p < 0.001). Conclusions. A higher number of dermatosurgeons and dermatologists as hospital consultants might help ensure better use of inpatient facilities.

“…Pioneering procedures like laser surgeries, dermabrasion, and the skillful application of filler injections rose to prominence, epitomizing precision, efficacy, and minimally invasive approaches [7]. The meteoric rise of dermatosurgery in recent decades is a testament to the growing demand for skilled dermatosurgeons, underscored by the increasing prevalence of skin malignancies and the advent of intricate operations such as sentinel lymph node biopsies [8].…”

Dermatosurgery, a specialized branch within dermatology, has traversed an extraordinary journey through time, shaped by ancient practices, technological leaps, and shifting societal perceptions. This review explores the evolution of dermatosurgery, highlighting its profound transformation from addressing solely medical concerns to seamlessly integrating aesthetics. From its roots in ancient civilizations, where cultural traditions laid the foundation for modern techniques, to the twentieth-century technological renaissance, marked by innovative tools and enhanced understanding of skin anatomy, dermatosurgery has emerged as a dynamic field.Societal notions of beauty and health have significantly influenced dermatosurgery, blurring the lines between medical necessity and elective aesthetic procedures. The delicate balance between satisfying aesthetic desires and upholding medical ethics is a central challenge that dermatosurgeons face today. Open dialogue between practitioners and patients as well as psychological support plays a pivotal role in navigating this terrain.The training and ethics associated with dermatosurgery have evolved to meet the increasing demand for specialized procedures. Maintaining a focus on patient safety and satisfaction remains paramount as commercial pressures and disparities in access to care loom. Upholding best practices and standards in the field is essential for ensuring consistent, high-quality care for all patients.Looking ahead, dermatosurgery stands on the brink of a transformative era, marked by non-invasive techniques, artificial intelligence (AI) integration, and personalized medicine. The field's ability to harmonize medical science with aesthetic artistry is evident in various case studies, showcasing the intricate balance dermatosurgeons strike between addressing medical concerns and fulfilling aesthetic desires. As dermatosurgery continues to evolve, it promises to provide patients with even more precise, tailored treatments that enhance both their physical well-being and aesthetic satisfaction.
