Objective To study the surgical repair mode of skin cancer in facies in aged patients. Methods The modes of surgical repair in 216 cases of aged patients with skin cancer in facies were analyzed. Results The special characteristics of physiology and pathology and the facies anatomy in the elderly determined the complexity of surgical repair. The surgical mode of excision and suture was the safest and the most efficacious. Skin flap transfer could mostly satisfy the function requirements of facies for the wound that was not able to be sutured after excision. Free skingrafting was applicable to the case that the deep tissue was not invaded by the tumor and the general condition of the patients was not much good. Conclusion The order of surgical repair modes for skin cancer in the facies in the elderly is excision and suture, skin flap transfer, and free skingrafting. Local skin flap must be the primary source as the selection of the skin flap is concerned. The suitable axial pattern skin flap or musculo-cutaneous flap can be selected according to the different section of the facies while there is no suitable local tissue.
