Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether electrodesiccation and curettage (ED\&C) versus excision with complex linear closure affects esthetic outcomes (primary outcome). As secondary outcome, we plan to look at patient quality of life measures and complications. This will be a prospective, 2-arm, randomized, evaluator-blinded clinical trial. One half of the patients will receive ED\&C and the other half will receive excision with repair by complex linear closure. Three-months post-surgery, the scar will be evaluated via the patient observer scar assessment scale (POSAS), a validated scar instrument, as well as the trace-to-tape method, an objective outcome measure for linear postoperative scars. In addition, patients will be provided a validated quality of life survey to complete. Any adverse events will also be recorded.
