Preface

I have received the great honor of being asked to write the introduction to this
fantastic book of surgical treatments of skin cancers and the repair of these
wounds.
At 82 years of age, I am probably the oldest of the dermatologic surgeons
still practicing, and I have seen and been part of the great advances in skin
cancer surgery.
I performed my first skin cancer operation in 1969 in the surgical clinic of
USC-LA County Hospital. For some reason, a problem between the plastic
surgeons and LA hospital led to the leaving en masse of all the plastic sur-
geons. The skin cancer epidemic was just beginning and at USC-LAC the
dermatologists took over all their surgical removal.
In 1972, I came to Florida, I spoke at the first meeting of the ASDS and
became friends with many dermatologic surgery legends including notably
Leonard Lewis, Chuck Dugan, Jim Trimble, Sam Stegman, and Ted
Tromovitch.
At this time, physicians in other specialties particularly surgeons tried to
stop dermatologists from treating skin cancers surgically. This required an
organized response from dermatology but not all dermatologists were sup-
portive. Four of us decided to fight back and to form a group or society of
dermatologic surgeons so that we would not be alone. These four were
myself, Chuck Dugan, Jim Trimble, and Leonard Lewis. After about a year,
we decided to try to have a meeting of dermatologists interested in dermato-
logic surgery. This took place in a Howard Johnson in Orlando and almost 40
people attended. I was the program chairman, we had no guest speakers, and
the meeting was such a success that the people demanded to have another
meeting the next year. The Florida Society of Dermatologic Surgeons was
formed, and it has continued now for over 40 years having a yearly meeting.
As the program chairman, I had the pleasure to invite the greatest dermato-
logic surgeons in America to speak to us. My friend Sam Stegman was the
first speaker and led the way for many gifted surgeons to educate us and join
our ranks. We were helped greatly by Dr. Ferdinand Becker who was not a
dermatologist but a head and neck facial plastic surgeon who presented to us
every year. I also presented every year until it became unnecessary to do so
because we had so many guest speakers. I continued on as the program chair-
man for 25 years and met all our wonderful dermatologic surgical heroes.
After 25 years, I was replaced with unbridled nepotism by my son and his
good friend Keyvan Nouri MD FAAD. They have continued to put on

­ agnificent meetings with great speakers up until the present time. Almost all
m
of the best and most talented dermatologic surgeons have spoken at this meet-
ing. Many of them have contributed their wonderful work to this book.
My son, my granddaughter, and I along with so many great colleagues
have put together a fine textbook to show and teach the many ways we surgi-
cally treat skin cancer but even more interestingly how these wounds can be
closed elegantly to maintain form and function and to provide lasting cos-
metically appropriate results for our patients. I expect this book to become
the “Bible” of skin cancer operations and wound closures. I richly recom-
mend this book to any and all dermatologic surgeons.

Preface

I’m so happy to bring this wonderful new textbook to you. For many years, I
have been moderating a panel discussion at the yearly meetings of the Florida
Society of Dermatologic Surgeons and the American Society for Mohs
Surgery that have been titled either the “Interactive wound reconstruction
panel” or the “Interactive wound closure panel.” During these presentations,
I was honored to see some of the greatest surgical reconstruction work by
many of our premiere dermatologic surgeons and this thrilling and educa-
tional experience has been appreciated by our audiences who continue to
rank us very highly on their evaluations.
The idea to bring this experience to an atlas format seemed like a great one
because we as dermatologists are so visually oriented and truly enjoy learn-
ing by seeing. Each page is designed almost like a graphic novel for greater
clarity.
It has been an honor to work with so many great colleagues who have
contributed their work to this project. Their expertise and exquisite care for
their patients is on display for those interested in learning these techniques.
I want to thank all of our contributors but particularly my niece Megan M.
Cronin, MD, FAAD, for helping with this immense project and, of course,
my father who continues to be a role model and guiding force for me and so
many others.
A true word of thanks to Springer and, particularly, our editor Lee Klein
for having the patience and vision to publish this innovative textbook.
Enjoy!

Preface

Growing up I remember going to dermatologic surgery meetings with my


family and sitting in lectures. I was in awe of the art of closures I would see
in these lectures. When I was a resident, my grandfather and uncle would
send me surgical defects and “how would you close this” questions that
inspired me to work on the art of a closure. When I was blessed to join my
family in practice, the three Dr. Cronin’s threw around the idea of an atlas of
surgery that could bring together and illustrate the art of complex closures
and approaches to dermatologic surgery. I am thankful for the collaboration
of the wonderful surgeons who helped make this book possible.
