CRE is a safe and acceptable alternative to traditional wide excision, with no patients developing local recurrence (LR). CRE results in low rates of surgical reconstruction, and hence lower morbidity; this is partially offset by the higher rates of inadequate excision requiring further surgery. However, the lesser rate of inadequate excision compared with rates of reconstruction makes CRE an attractive option.
