    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Traditional excision of small cutaneous lesions can be challenging regarding final closure length and incision orientation.
    • Accurate determination of skin tension lines is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes but can be difficult in certain areas.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple, practical alternative method for excising small cutaneous lesions.
    • To highlight the advantages of this alternative technique over traditional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel surgical approach for the excision of small skin lesions is presented.
    • The technique focuses on simplifying the closure process and enhancing flexibility in incision planning.

    Main Results:

    • The alternative method results in a decreased length of the final wound closure.

  • It offers greater flexibility in orienting incisions, particularly in areas with indistinct skin tension lines.

    • Conclusions:

    • This technique provides a valuable, practical alternative for the surgical management of small cutaneous lesions.
    • The method improves cosmesis and surgical efficiency by addressing challenges in closure and incision planning.
