Video Summary
A basal cell skin cancer was excised by Dr. Rob Hayes using local anesthesia. The defect was reconstructed with a skin graft from the scalp, again under local anesthesia. The procedure aimed to minimize pain by careful local anesthesia application, ensuring minimal nerve sensation. The patient reported no pain during the procedure. Conducted in a minor procedure room, this method is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and maintains low infection rates. The patient was able to go home immediately after, highlighting the efficiency and comfort of the treatment approach.
