Dog-ear formation is often unavoidable with resection and suturing of the skin, including spindle excision. Regarding dog-ear formation after basic spindle skin resection during removal of a round tumor of the skin, we quantitatively analyzed the frequency of dog-ear formation with respect to the following three techniques: previous spindle skin resection, S-shaped skin resection, which has been experientially considered to induce limited deformity, and mosque-shaped skin resection for control. To date, by using paper models or sponges, various techniques of skin resection have been simulated in the field of plastic surgery. In the present study, we performed three-dimensional simulation and analyzed three different techniques of skin resection by using the finite element method. As a result, image simulation demonstrated that the frequency of dog-ear formation was limited by S-shaped, spindle, and mosque-shaped skin resection, in descending order.
