Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will randomize patients undergoing Mohs surgery to receive either a pressure or a simple adhesive dressing following their procedure. The hypothesis is that patients with the simple adhesive dressings will be more satisfied and comfortable with their wound care on follow-up. These patients are also expected to cite greater convenience managing the simple dressing at home. Finally, the investigators anticipate no difference in the number of postoperative complications between the two groups and expect that there will be a lower cost associated with the simple adhesive dressing as compared to the pressure dressing.

Pressure Dressing

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in this group will receive the standard post-operative bandage: a pressure dressing consisting of high absorbency gauze and retention tape.

Simple Adhesive Dressing

Participants randomized to this group will receive the experimental post-operative dressing following their Mohs procedure: a simple adhesive dressing consisting of a non-adherent pad and transparent dressing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
