Rebuilding the nail area after melanoma removal
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the results of different ways to rebuild the nail area after removing melanoma on a finger or toe. It aims to understand what works best for patients who had this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to remove a melanoma on your finger or toe, including the nail and a border of healthy skin around it.
- After that surgery, you had a procedure to rebuild the area (either right away or later).
- Your finger or toe was not amputated.

This trial tests whether removing a clinically involved lymph node basin (via a specific lymph node excision surgery) after certain melanoma findings is helpful. It mainly aims to see effects on outcomes and on arm/leg swelling (lymphedema) after surgery.
This trial compares having one surgery to remove extra skin around a thin melanoma versus the standard two-step approach (biopsy first, then a wider excision later). It aims to see if one surgery is just as safe and reduces the number of procedures.
This study tests whether patients with moderate-thickness skin melanoma need additional surgery after their initial tumor removal, or if careful monitoring alone is enough. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgery while keeping patients safe.
This study compares two surgical techniques for rebuilding bone in the lower leg or thigh after significant bone loss. If you need this type of surgery, you may be able to join and help doctors learn which method works best.
This study compares two ways of closing a large wound after melanoma removal: using a skin flap (where nearby tissue is moved to cover the defect) versus a skin graft (taking a thin layer of skin from another area). It aims to see which method works better for healing.
This trial looks at how well the hand works after surgically reattaching multiple fingers that were completely cut off. It aims to help patients understand what recovery might be like.
