Autologous Patch Healing vs. Secondary Intention Healing After Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Autologous Patch Healing vs. Secondary Intention Healing After Mohs Micrographic Surgery - A Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary objects of this study is to explore the potential effect of the autologous patch to optimize wound healing after skin cancer surgery with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) in the face in a randomized controlled trial comparing autologous patch healing versus secondary intention healing.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects undergoing MMS for biopsy verified primary nodular basal cell carcinoma in the face, head and neck area on a location suitable for secondary intention healing and thus may also be suitable for autologous patch healing
2. Presenting relevant medical record report at study initiation
3. Written informed consent obtained from subject
4. Understanding of investigation procedures and willingness to abide to all procedures during the course of the investigation.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. A subjects with major systemic disease not yet stabilized
2. Significant history or current evidence of a medical, psychological or other disorder that, in the investigator's opinion, would preclude enrollment into the study.
3. Pregnant or breast feeding
4. Unable to follow the outlined study protocol
5. Participation in other studies at the same time that may affect the wound healing.
