Excisions on the Trunk
Anatomical considerations, Skin tension lines, Skin movement on the back, Problems in healing, Why the ellipse is the excision of choice.
Before you start on this section it would be prudent to Listen to the anatomy lecture from your textbook. This lecture covers a fair bit of facial anatomy. Most of the structures you might be worried about pranging are fairly deep under the underlying facia below the fat layer. Concentrate on those areas where a nerve or vessel lies superficial to the deep facia. eg Superficial temporal nerve on the temple and the 11th cranial nerve in the posterior triangle of the neck.
The Back The first area you are likely to excise a lesion from is probably the back. Lets have a look at some of the problems you might face and how to remove a variety of lesions found there.
