Interpolated Flap Repair, Mohs Micrographic Surgery, Skin Cancer

Brief summary

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) followed by skin reconstruction has been widely accepted for treatment of many skin cancers. To further characterize the trends in MMS and reconstruction for skin cancer, a retrospective analysis will be performed using the Optum© Clinformatics® DataMart de-identified commercial claims database from 2001-2016. The findings may provide critical data for future prospective studies in skin cancer treatments.
