Webinar replay: Skin cancer surgery on the torso

Written by HealthCert Education | Mar 26, 2026 3:53:14 AM

When excising skin cancers on the torso, good outcomes often come down to careful planning and small technical decisions. Understanding anatomy, incision design, and closure technique can make the difference between a straightforward excision and a difficult repair.

In this webinar, A/Prof Jonny Levy focuses on skin cancer surgery of the torso. Designed for GPs developing advanced procedural skills, this session walks through key considerations in surgical planning, highlights common pitfalls, and demonstrates techniques that support efficient excisions and reliable wound closure.

Watch the replay to learn how to:

  • Identify key anatomical considerations when excising lesions on the torso
  • Plan excisions effectively, including appropriate margins and orientation
  • Avoid common surgical pitfalls that can complicate closures
  • Apply practical techniques for designing the ellipse and placing buried sutures
