Reconstructing Mohs defects often requires grafting in the form of full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) and composite grafts. These grafts can be complicated by a variable and often indeterminable survival rate. Other researchers have found that delaying FTSG reconstruction improves graft outcomes, but the optimal interval between excision and reconstruction remains unclear, and no study has examined the association between delaying composite graft reconstruction and graft survival.
