Description

Skin malignancies are the most common type of cancer in humans and make up the majority of cutaneous tumors. It mainly affects the head and neck because of its strong heliotropism. The head and neck localization is not specifically covered by European or French guidelines, and surgical treatment in this area is still difficult. In most cases, primary surgery is the best course of action. The choice of the margin of carcinologic resection, however, may be influenced by the technical requirements for the surgical resection of face malignancies. These requirements are both functional and aesthetic. Although the Mohs surgical approach has demonstrated positive outcomes, it is rarely practical in practice.

Hedgehog inhibitors

Non-surgical alternatives, such as immunotherapies for nonmelanoma cancers, Hedgehog inhibitors for Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), radiation therapy alone or in combination with other therapies, or brachytherapy, are available for patients who are not candidates for primary surgery. However, as new guidelines attest, primary surgery continues to be the mainstay of care when practical. There is no agreed-upon definition for large skin tumors of the head and neck. One of the unique characteristics of these tumors is that they typically appear in older patients who are very weak and/or have psycho-social risk factors. These patients also frequently have immunodepressive disorders and are sluggish to seek treatment because they frequently deny the existence of their illness. The goals of treatment compliance and surgical resection approval are frequently not met. Rebuilding the big flaw is still difficult. In general, a comprehensive approach is needed for the curative care of large facial skin cancer tumors. Here, we offer a retrospective case series of individuals who had significant facial skin malignancies that needed to be surgically removed in order to completely remove the malignancy and then rebuilt. Reports are provided on complications, results, and requirements that must be fulfilled. Lastly, we compare our findings with those that have already been published in the literature and talk about them. The prevalence of extensive skin cancers increases with the aging of the population. While there is some morbidity, surgical management is the best course of action when it comes to curative care. The literature contains limited information on widespread cutaneous malignancies of the head and neck. This article's goal is to share our experience treating large skin malignancies of the head and neck in a curative manner.

Cell carcinoma

Following heart surgery, severe complications include Aortic Graft Infections (AGIs) and Sternal Wound Infections (SWIs). The most frequent causes of SWIs are coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aurous, while AGIs have received less research attention. AGIs can result from postoperative hemorrhagic spread or contamination after surgery. Skin commensals, such cut bacterium acnes, are present in the surgical wound, though it's debatable if they can lead to infection. Following cutaneous cancer excisions, significant skin defects may be rebuilt using dermal regeneration templates. Bowen's disease, also known as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, is a common and persistent disorder that typically affects the head and neck region or the lower limbs. It may be associated with chronic UV damage. The literature only describes a broad variety of potential treatments, such as surgery, laser therapy, and topical alternatives, without offering specific instructions for the treatment of large lesions are challenging to treat surgically, nevertheless, because they often leave scars in the postoperative phase.
