title: Flaps and grafts reconstruction.
abstract: Reconstruction of Mohs surgical defects is a challenging venture. A thorough understanding of skin physiology and anatomy (cosmetic subunits, relaxed skin tension lines, underlying neurovascular structures at risk, potential functional compromise, character of adjacent skin, and so forth), careful wound analysis, and meticulous operative techniques is key to a successful reconstruction. This article discusses in detail the use of local skin flaps and graft reconstruction.
