I had my results back a few days ago confirming I have stage 1 melanoma on my calf. They said they are happy it was all removed with the initial excision but need to remove further tissue. I have a consultation in a weeks time with the plastic surgeon team to discuss my Wide local excision. This is due to already having quite a bit of skin removed first time round and I may need a graft? I’m just struggling to understand how this is done as was told my original my surgery was a wide excision, they did an elliptical cut leaving me with neat 4cm scar. But I don’t understand how they would do this again, as the mole is no longer there? I know I can ask all this at mey next appointment but it’s niggling me not understanding how a second wide excision is done?
