Current trends in the practice of dermatologic surgery.

In a 1984 survey, 2750 members of the American Academy of Dermatology were asked which dermatologic surgery procedures they performed and which procedures they expected to be performing in 5 years. A similar survey was completed by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery in 1988. In this article, the results of the 1988 survey are presented and compared to that of 1984.

Lasers in dermatology.

A laser is a device that produces a parallel bundle of photons of equal wavelength that are temporally and spacially in phase. The laser light can be focused to produce high energy in very small spots. The pulsed dye laser, the argon laser and the carbon dioxide laser are commonly used in dermatology. The pulsed dye laser and the argon laser are especially effective for cutaneous vascular lesions such as port-wine hemangiomas. It is important for the physician to be knowledgeable about laser-tissue interaction and laser safety to avoid laser accidents.

The safety of dermatologic liposuction surgery.

The safety of liposuction surgery begins with appropriate preoperative evaluation and patient selection. Operative considerations include the type of anesthesia used, the volume of fat aspirated, and the liposuction technique utilized. Results from a recent survey revealed that liposuction surgery can be extremely safe when done under local anesthesia with conservative fat removal.

Skin cancer in patients with chronic radiation dermatitis.

The cases of 76 patients with chronic radiation dermatitis resulting from low-dose ionizing radiation for benign disease were reviewed retrospectively for risk factors leading to the development of neoplasia. The patients were studied with respect to original hair color, eye color, sun reactive skin type, benign disease treated, area treated, age at treatment, and age at development of first skin cancer. Analysis of data showed 37% of patients had sun-reactive skin type I, 27% had type II, and 36% had type III. Types IV through VI were not represented. There appeared to be an overrepresentation of types I and II. Increased melanin pigmentation may therefore be either directly or indirectly protective against the development of skin cancers in patients who have received low-dose superficial ionizing radiation for benign disease. The sun-reactive skin type of patients with chronic radiation dermatitis may be used as a predictor of skin cancer risk when the total dose of ionizing radiation is not known.

Dermal implants: safety of products injected for soft tissue augmentation.

Soft tissue augmentation is a frequently performed outpatient operation. Products available for soft tissue augmentation vary in chemistry, clinical indications, and toxicity. This review examines safety and efficacy data for collagen implants (Zyderm and Zyplast), gelatin matrix implants (Fibrel), and injectable silicone. Soft tissue augmentation requires excellent technique to achieve excellent clinical efficacy. When used appropriately, the available products for soft tissue augmentation have few complications or adverse reactions.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the skin. Case report and review of the literature.

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor usually treated by wide local excision. We present a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the skin on the anterior aspect of the chest wall treated by Mohs micrographic surgery. This is only the second reported case so treated. The patient has remained recurrence-free for 30 months.
