Mohs Defect Repair with Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane.

ABSTRACT: Importance: Reconstructing cosmetically sensitive defects in an aging population undergoing multiple Mohs micrographic surgeries (MMS) may be addressed with alternatives to surgery. Objective: Patients undergoing MMS with defect reconstruction in visually prominent areas receiving placental allograft were compared with traditional autologous tissue-based procedures-flaps and full-thickness skin grafts (FTSG).
