Experience of ReCell in Skin Cancer Reconstruction
A 42-year-old female patient underwent a 2-cm wide local excision (WLE) of a malignant melanoma scar on her scalp (). The resulting wound measured 5 cm×7 cm with periosteum forming the base (). The patient was concerned about the aesthetic problem of alopecia following a skin graft as well as donor site morbidity. As a result, the ReCell system was used in the manner described above. At 1 year, the wound had contracted sufficiently to be covered by the patient's hair, making it imperceptible during day-to-day activities (). The POSAS score was 45.
