Dressings are integrally tied to wound outcomes in dermatologic surgery. Due to the wide range of wound types and dressing options available, dressing selection can be a formidable task. An understanding of dressing materials and their unique properties allows for a tailored approach to postoperative wound care. Conventional layered dressings often are suitable for uncomplicated dermatologic surgery wounds. Occlusive dressings and tissue-engineered skin substitutes may be warranted in more complex cases. This review is intended to equip the reader with the knowledge and confidence to successfully manage surgical wounds in dermatology.
