AB SUMMARYSurgical  removal  of  skin  cancer  leads  to  an  operative  wound.  The  aesthetic  and  functional  closure  of  this  defect  is  a  skill  learned  with  study  and  experience.  Many  wounds  are  best  repaired  conservatively,  and  a  linear  closure  frequently  results  in  an  ideal  repair.  Advanced  wound  closures,  including  flap  and  graft  reconstructions,  require  a  broad  knowledge  of  anatomy  and  tissue  mechanics  along  with  an  appreciation  of  geometry,  a  steady  hand,  and  attention  to  detail.  Entire  texts  are  devoted  to  the  broad  field  of  surgical  reconstruction.  This  chapter  aims  to  hit  the  high  points  and  provide  logical  direction  in  the  choice  and  execution  of  repairs.
