title: Instrumentation in dermatologic surgery.
abstract: The practice of dermatology has changed greatly over the past 2 decades. This change has been partly characterized by an increased emphasis on the surgical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of skin disease. This new emphasis within the practice of dermatology necessarily alters the basic equipment and instrumentation needed to begin and maintain a dermatology practice in the 1990s. The following article is intended to provide the interested reader with a sound and rational basis for selection of surgical instruments to incorporate into his or her particular level of surgical practice.
