“…Multiple studies have reported that patients who are immunosuppressed, have diabetes mellitus, or smoke have a higher rate of infection risk and that these should be considered when choosing to prescribe antibiotics . Nicotine has been shown to delay primary wound healing, and patients should be counseled on and consent to smoking cessation before undergoing any surgical procedure .…”

Background Although the risk of postoperative infection and bacteremia from dermatologic procedures remains low, many dermatologic surgeons continue to prescribe antibiotics, pre‐ and postoperatively. This practice can lead to unwanted morbidity and mortality and significantly increases associated healthcare costs and, even more ominously, increases bacterial resistance in the community. Objective To provide a comprehensive overview of antibiotic usage in dermatologic surgery and use evidence‐based medicine to provide recommendations for antibiotic usage tailored to microbial pathogens. Materials and Methods A literature review was conducted to provide the most current overview of the guidelines for antibiotic use against surgical site infections, infective endocarditis, and hematogenous joint infection. In addition, recommendations for antibiotic use with implantable materials, such as fillers, and for special populations, such as organ transplant recipients, are provided. Results and Conclusion We focused on the most common bacterial pathogens related to surgical sites and effective antibiotics for each. In doing so, we seek to limit the unwarranted use of antibiotics in dermatologic surgery.

“…[2][3][4][5] Complications associated with Mohs surgery have been evaluated by prospective single-surgeon studies, as well as by retrospective multiple-surgeon studies. [6][7][8][9] Multicenter, prospective studies afford a higher level of clinical evidence and help to establish the safety profile of Mohs surgery in the ambulatory setting.…”
