Study Summary

"This trial compares the healing times between letting wounds on the scalp heal naturally on their own and using a technique called pinch graft, where a thin piece of skin is taken from another area and placed on the

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with scalp wounds from surgery, specifically Mohs micrographic surgery. The study aims to compare two healing methods: letting the wound heal on its own or using a pinch graft technique where skin from another area is placed in the wound.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how quickly scalp wounds heal when left alone (second intention) versus when treated with a pinch graft, which involves transplanting a small piece of skin from elsewhere on the body to the wound site.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include discomfort at both the donor and recipient sites, risk of infection, scarring differences between techniques, and possible rejection or failure of the skin graft.
