Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the cosmetic outcome of traditional straight-line (SL) linear closure to that of W plasty (a type of geometric broken-line cutaneous closure technique) for closure of post-auricular wounds resulting from harvest of full thickness skin grafts during Mohs micrographic surgery. The research team will use a split wound model, where half of the wound is repaired with a straight-line cutaneous closure and the other half is repaired with the W-plasty technique. Three-months post-surgery, the scar will be measured via the patient observer scar assessment scale (POSAS), a validated scar instrument. The scar width, and adverse events will also be recorded.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome is the difference in Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) scores between the halves of the wound (standard linear closure versus W-plasty). The POSAS instrument incorporates separate questionnaires for observers and patients. Each questionnaire contains six items with possible scores from 0-10 for a total maximum score of 60 on each component (patient and observer).
