6. C Operative Report:
INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY: The patient is a
72-year-old male with a biopsy-proven squamous cell car-
cinoma of his left forearm. With his permission, I marked
my planned excision and my best guess at the resultant
scar, which included a rhomboid flap repair. The patient
observed these markings in a mirror, so he could under-
stand the surgery, agree on the location and I proceeded.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was giv-
en 1 g of IV Ancef. The area was infiltrated with local
anesthetic. The forearm was prepped and draped in a
sterile fashion. I excised this lesion measuring 1.2 cm
diameter as drawn into the subcutaneous fat. A suture
was used to mark this specimen at its proximal tip and
this was labeled at 12 o'clock. Negative margins were then
given. Meticulous hemostasis was achieved using a Bovie
cautery. I incised my planned rhomboid flap measuring
2cm x 2cm. I elevated the flap with a full-thickness of skin
and subcutaneous fat. The total defect size was 5.44 sq
cm. The flap was rotated into the defect and the donor
site was closed and the flap was inset in layers using 4-0
Monocryl and 5-0 Prolene. Loupe magnification was used
throughout the procedure and the patient tolerated the
