Appointments are typically scheduled 3 weeks apart, making the treatment process easy to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-enfernung-des-hautkrebses-ccc461cc-aa8c-48d1-8d4d-88c77f091952\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Removal of the Skin Cancer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure that the tumor has been completely removed, we also take very thin strips of skin from the edges of the wound, known as margin samples, for histopathological examination in the pathology laboratory (see \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"17\">Understanding Skin Cancer<\/a>\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For better orientation, the wound is divided into four sections, like the face of a clock: from 12 to 3 o\u2019clock, from 3 to 6 o\u2019clock, from 6 to 9 o\u2019clock, and from 9 to 12 o\u2019clock. This allows the pathologist to determine exactly which area of the wound each sample came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An additional tissue sample is taken from the deepest part of the wound. All samples are examined to determine whether any cancer cells remain or whether the tumor has been completely removed (see \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"17\">Understanding Skin Cancer<\/a>\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/03_Dr-Born_Wundrandschnitte-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-721\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"bildunterschrift wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 1:<\/em> The skin cancer is removed with <strong>a surgical margin of approximately 3 mm<\/strong> &nbsp;all around the visible tumor. In addition, tissue samples are taken from around the excised area, appropriately labeled, and examined under a microscope. This allows for a precise determination of whether the tumor has been completely removed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the wound initially remains open or is only temporarily dressed, additional tissue affected by cancerous spread can be removed precisely at the affected site if necessary. This allows for particularly precise and safe work <strong>until tumor clearance has been confirmed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-erste-kontrollierte-annaherung-der-wundrander-28fa80f8-b5c8-4c8e-b47f-f0fde0d5cb20\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.1. Initial controlled approximation of the wound edges during skin cancer removal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right from the start, <strong>the wound can be reduced symmetrically and circumferentially by up to 5 mm<\/strong> &nbsp;(<em>Figure 2<\/em>). This is achieved using a special suturing technique (<strong>cuticular purse string suture<\/strong>) that brings the skin together without placing it under excessive tension. This <strong>cuticular purse string suture<\/strong> typically remains in place for 3\u20134 weeks and allows for an initial approximation of the wound edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/04_Dr-Born_Neues-Saumnaht-Prinzip-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-722\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"bildunterschrift wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 2: <\/em>A <strong>cuticular purse string suture<\/strong> (a suture placed all the way around the wound) leads to a significant reduction in wound size right from the first step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-weitere-schrittweise-annaherung--d599d801-5be4-4fbd-8303-6827144d2440\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Further gradual approximation\/gentle wound closure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the following weeks, the wound is brought together in 2\u20133 additional small steps. This approach allows the skin to adapt slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These procedures are also performed under local anesthesia, are usually brief, and reduce the size of the wound bit by bit. <strong>For larger wounds (approx. 2\u20134 cm)<\/strong>, an absorbable membrane is additionally cuticular purse string sutured in place as a protective barrier (Figures 3\u20134). This membrane is penetrated by the body\u2019s own skin cells and replaced by the body\u2019s own tissue. This membrane can also be used on its own, but it leaves <strong>a broad, depressed scar<\/strong>. This is where surgical wound contraction comes into play, bringing the skin edges directly together and thereby minimizing the scar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/05_Dr-Born_Wundabdeckung-mit-Kunsthaut-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Figure 3:<\/em> To initially cover and protect larger wounds, a special resorbable membrane\u2014recognizable by its white color\u2014is applied to the wound and secured with <strong>cuticular purse string sutures.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/06_Dr-Born_Schutz-der-Kunsthaut-durch-angepasste-Verbandsplatte-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Figure 4:<\/em> During the same procedure, a custom-fitted dressing plate is then applied and secured with cuticular purse string sutures. <strong>It presses the membrane against the wound bed and supports its healing.<\/strong> The dressing plate is made of transparent, soft plastic, allowing for visual monitoring of the wound.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-abschluss-und-stabiler-wundverschluss-6cf66093-4423-43e7-939c-44bc71d81dbd\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

The number of steps required and the intervals between them depend, among other things, on the size and location of the wound, the individual\u2019s skin condition, and the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is always planned on an individual basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group themen-ueberschrift is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ankerlink-pfeil-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" style=\"width:92px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"pain-and-anesthesia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pain and Anesthesia<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All treatment steps are generally performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, patients usually do not experience any pain during the procedures. The sessions initially last about 45 minutes and then typically about 30 minutes. Immediately afterward, patients leave the office and can often resume their daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"besondere-umstande-zwischen-den-operativen-behandlungsschritten-3c9b7e07-f6e8-47af-8659-f1f897e82def\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Considerations Between Surgical Treatment Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving the wounds partially open usually does not cause any problems as long as certain precautions are taken: Activities in dusty environments should be avoided during treatment, but especially during the first 2 months. Swimming is also not recommended, particularly in heavily chlorinated pools. Intense sun exposure is not conducive to wound healing, especially since it can increase the risk of developing additional skin cancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients generally cover the wound with an adhesive dressing during the first 2\u20133 weeks. After that, patients generally feel comfortable enough with the appearance of the wound that a dressing is almost always no longer necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group themen-ueberschrift is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ankerlink-pfeil-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" style=\"width:92px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wie-es-weitergeht\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect Next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the next page, you\u2019ll find a factual overview of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/born-wundkontraktion.de\/en\/advantages-and-limitations-of-surgical-wound-contraction-for-facial-skin-cancer\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"20\">the benefits, assessment, and limitations of the method<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group quellen is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medical Information: <a href=\"\/en\/dr-andreas-born\/\">Dr. med.
