Review of the Literature and Serie of Patients Who Underwent Reconstruction After Wide Local Excision of Nail Apparatus for Melanoma

February 28, 2025 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

Review of the Literature and Retrospective, Single-centre Study of a Series of Patients Who Underwent Reconstruction After Complete Nail Resection.

Melanomas of the nail bed are often diagnosed at the locally advanced stage. The standard treatment was amputation of the finger or toe, but it has now been established that enlarged excision of the nail plate is sufficient under certain conditions. Reconstruction of the nail system can be performed by several techniques. Here, the investigators present a series of patients reconstructed by INTEGRA (dermal matrix) and skin graft

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients who have undergone extensive nail resection with reconstruction
The investigators studied a population of 10 patients who underwent nail and nail matrix excision surgery as part of the treatment of subungual melanoma, as well as the reconstruction, the investigators opted for. The specific intervention of this study is based on late postoperative questions (after 3 months)
Other Names:
  • Excision of the nail apparatus with flap reconstruction or INTEGRA + skin graft.
