This study involves surveying two matched groups of patients that underwent dermatologic surgery at our department. One group had a documented surgical site infection and the other didn't. All patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire in which they assess the physical appearance of their scars and its psychosocial impact. Results will be compared between the groups.
65 patients with a documented surgical site infection will be compared to 65 patients with normal wound healing in terms of patient reported outcome regarding scar physical appearance and psychosocial impact using SCAR-Q questionnaire.
