AB  - |PrintIntroduction  to  Dermatologic  Surgery  at  a  GlanceProfound  knowledge  of  the  anatomy,  particularly  of  the  head  and  neck  region,  is  essential.Preoperative  assessment  includes  a  thorough  medical,  drug,  and  medication  history.Asepsis  and  antisepsis  are  required.The  choice  of  the  anesthetic  is  determined  by  the  nature  and  duration  of  the  procedure  and  by  patient  factors  such  as  allergy  or  renal  or  hepatic  impairment.Side  effects  of  local  anesthetics  are  pain,  a  vasovagal  reaction,  or  (uncommon)  allergic  reactions.  Anesthetic  toxicity  is  rare.Infiltrative  anesthesia,  nerve  blocks,  and  topical  anesthesia  (for  minor  procedures)  can  be  performed.Types  of  suture  material  and  suturing  technique  depend  on  the  surgical  procedure.Postoperative  care  is  essential.
