title: Nonsuture surgery for basal cell carcinoma: an alternative method.
abstract: Eighty-seven basal cell carcinomas were treated by surgical excision. Sites of removal were allowed to heal by secondary intention. Advantages of this method include histologic monitoring of the adequacy of incision, a less formidable surgical procedure, and a cosmetically acceptable scar.
