Summary
Surgical outcomes are impacted by the combined effects of preoperative assessment, surgical planning, surgical technique, and patient-specific factors that influence healing. The first three components are modifiable. Careful preoperative evaluation and comprehensive patient counseling allows the surgeon to optimally plan and appropriately set patient expectations. Attention to anatomy, technical knowledge, and experience minimize intraoperative complications. Good tissue handling affects tissue healing and the quality of histopathology specimens. Attention to detail in each step of this process will promote good outcomes and patient satisfaction.
