Background and Design:Micrographic surgery is an intraoperative microscope-controlled surgery which aims at the excision of the entire tumor by achieving 100% control of the surgical margins with horizontal sectioning. In micrographic surgery, the healthy skin is preserved maximally due to the stepwise excision of the tumor using narrow margins. Due to its highest cure rates and maximal tissue preserving properties, it is the treatment of choice for high-risk non-melanoma skin cancers. Micrographic surgery is not routinely included in the dermatologic surgical procedures in Turkey. The aim of this study was to provide the availability of micrographic surgery for selected patients. Materials and Methods: During 2010-2015, 116 non-melanoma skin cancers that belong to 102 patients (53 male, 49 female) were treated with micrographic surgery. All tumors were located on the head or neck, and exhibiting at least one high-risk factor for recurrence. Micrographic surgery was performed with the Munich method between 2010 and 2013, and with Mohs surgery between 2013 and 2015. Results: The mean age of patients was 65.86±12.33 years (range: 33-90 years). The localization of the tumors was the head (n=112) and the neck (n=4). The number of micrographic surgery sessions to eliminate the tumor was 1 session for 55 (47.41%), 2 sessions for 55, and more

“…3 Furthermore, as the tumor is excised, the scalpel is held at a 451 angle 4 to create beveled edges that can be easily flattened onto a single plane. In most cases, this method of excision will allow the histotechnologist to easily prepare slides that display the entire margin of the excised specimen.…”
