Surgical outcomes and psychosocial impact of giant congenital melanocytic nevus surgery: a single-center case series of 136 patients

Single-center study of 136 patients with giant congenital melanocytic nevus demonstrates that surgical excision using expanded skin flaps is safe and effective, requiring an average of 5.5 procedures with minimal impact on quality of life. Patients, caregivers, and surgeons all favor early surgical intervention, with higher surgeon satisfaction correlating with younger patient age at first surgery.
