I recently had an open wide incision for Stage 2 melanoma on my lower leg. Because of the location my surgeon my surgeon opted to not suture it. The skin is growing back, but I haven’t never heard of this type of incision.

Hello @barbjo. I wonder if it is possible to review your medical chart to see if the type of incision is listed? Have you checked there?

Also, you will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on melanoma here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/melanoma-treatment-options/

Do you have any concerns about the incision or more so curiosity about it?
