Periprocedural anxiolytic agents in dermatologic surgery: Quantitative experience and systematic literature review of the effective differences

Background: Procedural dermatology, including Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), hair transplantation (HT), and cosmetic surgery can induce significant patient anxiety. While pre-procedural anxiolysis has been documented in other fields, there is only one study published for its usage in procedural dermatology and MMS. Herein, we perform a systematic literature review and discuss our center's experience with pre-procedural anxiolytics (PPA) in MMS and HT.
