Abstract
Non-melanoma skin tumors (NMSC), predominantly basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are the most common skin cancers. Despite generally having lower lethality compared to melanoma, their high incidence represents a significant cost to healthcare systems. The main risk factor is exposure to ultraviolet radiation, along with fair skin phenotype, genetic predisposition, age, and immunosuppression. Diagnoses are based on clinical examination, dermatoscopy, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. The gold standard treatment is surgical excision with safety margins. This study compares the efficacy and safety of two surgical techniques in the treatment and reconstruction of NMSC. The results were based on descriptive and quantitative analysis, association/correlation of the studied variables, histological subtypes, and reconstruction techniques. POSAS and Vancouver scales were used for study validation. Histological subtypes were important for the objectives of these techniques as well as their safety margins.
