Abstract

Secondary intention healing is a valid option for surgical wound management, allowing for excellent results and providing a clear advantage over other techniques in selected patients. The authors report the case of a 66-year-old Caucasian man who had squamous cell carcinoma excised from the concha that healed by secondary intention. Some aspects of this technique are reviewed.

KEYWORDS – Wound Healing; Surgical Procedures; Skin Neoplasms; Reoperation.
