Abstract
An 87-year-old man presented for treatment of a histology-proven basal cell carcinoma involving the left medial canthus. The lesion was successfully resected with adequate margins under local anaesthesia and resulted in a defect measuring 2 x 1.5 cm. How would you repair this defect?
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
