Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare rates of local recurrence in the treatment of low risk basal cell carcinoma by curettage and electrocoagulation or excision and suture in 1 OR 2 years of follow-up through clinical and dermoscopic evaluation at the procedure site. We will compare the variation in recurrence between treatment methods.;Assess patient satisfaction with the procedure after 3 months of the intervention using a questionnaire that measures satisfaction with the procedure performed. There is no statistical difference in the degree of satisfaction between the methods.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Identify surgical complications such as infection, dehiscence, significant bleeding, intensity of local pain, pruritus and scar retraction, questioning the patient retrograde in the three month post-intervention reassessment. There is no statistical significance between the two methods.;Analyze the aesthetic aspect of the scar using a scar assessment scale performed by the observer and the patient three months after the intervention. There is no statistical significance between the two methods.—
