Wound Care and Dermatologic Surgery

Wound care and dermatologic surgery focus on the management of acute and chronic wounds as well as surgical procedures for various skin conditions. This topic covers surgical excision, biopsy techniques, Mohs micrographic surgery, skin grafting, and reconstructive procedures for both medical and cosmetic purposes. Participants will learn about advanced wound care strategies, including the use of dressings, topical agents, negative pressure therapy, and regenerative technologies that promote faster healing and reduce complications. Emphasis is placed on accurate diagnosis, patient assessment, infection control, and post-operative care. The topic also addresses challenges such as chronic ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, pressure injuries, and post-surgical scarring. By the end of this discussion, attendees will understand evidence-based approaches for managing complex wounds, performing dermatologic surgeries safely, and improving functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients.
