If you perform skin cancer surgery in your practice, take 10 minutes to view the below video with experienced skin cancer doctor Colin Armstrong.
Dr Armstrong demonstrates on real-life examples how to perform surgical undermining on the forehead, cheek, chin, back, zygoma, lateral thigh, leg and forearm to minimise the tension on the wound margins, facilitate closure and enhance the cosmetic outcome.
