2011
Introducao: Skin tumors are common and may present irregular growth, requiring resections with diverse geometric shapes. Many descriptions have been reported. Objective: To describe a triangle-shaped excision technique followed by primary closure in the treatment of skin cancer. Methods: Patients (n = 11) with tumors of between 1.8 and 5.7 cm located in areas that favored the use of equilateral triangle-shaped incision and primary closure were studied. Results: All patients had their surgical closure in the shape of a “Y.”Two cases of partial dehiscence of the suture were observed in the post-operative period. Conclusions: The surgical technique of primary closure of triangular excisions of skin allows effective control of the surgical margins and leads to good cosmetic results, preserving the surrounding tissue.
