Overview
Basal Cell Carcinoma Surgery
Electrodesiccation and Curettage
A curette is used to remove the tumor away from adjacent normal skin. Electrodesiccation and curettage is a brief procedure and is effective in treating primary nodular and superficial basal cell carcinoma. The disadvantage of this procedure is it leaves a white, atrophic scar[1].
