Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study involves surveying two matched groups of patients that underwent dermatologic surgery at our department. One group had a documented surgical site infection and the other didn't. All patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire in which they assess the physical appearance of their scars and its psychosocial impact. Results will be compared between the groups.

Detailed Description

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

65 patients with a documented surgical site infection will be compared to 65 patients with normal wound healing in terms of patient reported outcome regarding scar physical appearance and psychosocial impact using SCAR-Q questionnaire.
