Abstract
After reading this article, the participant should be able to: (1) Identify the appropriate resection margins for common types of nonmelanoma skin cancer. (2) Discuss indications for secondary intention healing, skin grafting, and local flaps for reconstruction of facial skin cancer defects. (3) Describe at least one local flap for reconstruction of scalp, forehead, temple/cheek, periocular, nose, and lips. Current evidence for diagnosis and surgical treatment of nonmelanoma facial skin cancers is reviewed. In addition, reconstructive options for facial defects are discussed by anatomic location.
