Practice makes perfect, and that’s exactly the hands-on opportunity attendees will receive during the Derm Labs series planned for this summer. The new Derm Lab sessions at the 2022 AAD Innovation Academy will cover wound closures, nail surgery, scar revision, and innovative suture techniques. Each session will combine lecture and video presentations as well as the opportunity to practice among experts.

  • L001 – Derm Labs: Wound Closures will explore anatomic considerations of wound closures on the head and neck to optimize outcomes and avoid complications, discuss the pearls and pitfalls for linear closures and advancement, rotation, and transposition flaps, and demonstrate how to perform complex linear repairs and the various types of local flap closures. Martha Laurin Council, MD, FAAD, associate professor of dermatology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will lead the session.
  • L004 – Derm Labs: Nail Surgery provides a solid foundation of principles to guide nail surgery — from simple to advanced procedures, perioperative considerations, and nail surgery specific instruments — while helping attendees diagnose and treat a variety of nail conditions with surgical techniques. These techniques include punch biopsy, shave (tangential biopsy), lateral longitudinal biopsy, en bloc excision of all nail tissues and nail flaps (for advanced level participants), and a variety of nail plate avulsion techniques. Charlene Lam, MD, MPH, FAAD, associate professor of dermatology at Penn State Health in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Julie Mervak, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill will co-direct the session. 
  • L005 – Derm Labs: Scar Revision is designed to provide dermatologic surgery fellows in-training and dermatologists with advanced surgical experience. Key session elements will include scar assessment, and optimal design and execution of surgical revision for free margin distortion, webbing, contracture, and the review of hypertrophic scars. Harold William Higgins II, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of clinical dermatology at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will lead the session.
  • L006 – Derm Labs: Innovative Suture Techniques Update will provide an understanding of the principles of wound closure, suture materials, and needles, while teaching attendees how to use novel variations of existing suture techniques for optimal wound closure outcomes. Cyndi Jill Yag-Howard, MD, FAAD, CEO and owner of Yag-Howard Dermatology Center in Naples, Florida, and Andrew Hart Weinstein, MD, MPH, FAAD, a Boynton Beach, Florida, dermatologist will co-direct the session.
