Published literature on wound closure methods are primarily focused on objective outcomes such as healing time, cosmesis and postoperative complications. There is a paucity of literature exploring patient experiences with these wound reconstructive modalities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To explore patient experiences of skin surgery with SIH and FTSG.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a multicentre interview-based qualitative study involving six sites across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. One-to-one semistructured interviews were conducted with patients who had an open surgical wound (for SIH) or a FTSG following excision of keratinocyte cancers. Patients were interviewed twice: once within a week postsurgery and again 3\u2005months later. Audio recordings of interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using the six-step thematic analysis method by Braun and Clarke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-four patients (19 male and 5 female; 12 SIH and 12 FTSG) with histologically confirmed keratinocyte cancers took part in the first interview. Their age ranged from 44 to 88\u2005years. There were 22 completed second-round interviews. Four key themes emerged: perception of overall quality of care (nonclinical), preoperative experience, intraoperative experience and postoperative experience. The first time patients visualized their surgical wound when changing dressings was a critical moment in their journey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients\u2019 experiences with skin surgery are highly individualized.
