title: Biwinged excision for round pedal lesions.
abstract: A technique for excising round pedal skin lesions is presented as an alternative to standard elliptic or lenticular excision. Biwinged excision maximally preserves healthy tissue and allows complete excision of a wide variety of lesions from the foot. The authors present a procedural outline of this technique and include several illustrative cases to demonstrate its utility.
