Optimal Timing of Reconstruction When Using Tissue Grafts After Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Does a delay in reconstruction after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) result in a higher complication rate than same-day repair? The results of the study from David et al in this issue of JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery suggest that delaying reconstruction may not be harmful, and in the case of skin grafts and composite grafts, waiting to repair may actually be beneficial.
