Narrow margin excision of T1a melanoma not associated with recurrence or melanoma-specific mortality

1. Wide local excision of T1a melanoma near critical structures with narrow (5-mm) margins was not associated with worse outcomes. 2. Fewer reconstructive surgeries were found in wide local excision of T1a melanoma near critical structures with narrow (5-mm) compared to wide (10-mm) margins. Evidence Rating Level: 2 (Good) Study Rundown: Surgical excision is recommended
