Impact of histological and clinical parameters on resection status and recurrence probability in head and neck basal cell carcinomas

This study highlights the effectiveness of outpatient procedures under local anesthesia on the one hand and the tissue-sparing and organ-preserving approach on the other for head and neck BCC, achieving high R0 resection and organ preservation rates. Incomplete resection was linked to the sclerodermiform subtype and auricular location. Despite these risks, recurrence was rare. The frequent use of reconstructive techniques reflects the focus on aesthetic and functional outcomes.
