- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Re-excision rate is assessed by reviewing patient notes post-operatively<br>2. Excised specimen volumes are assessed by weighting the excised tissue volumes during surgery<br>3. Cosmetic outcome is assessed by reviewing patient notes post-operatively after 3 months and at 1 year follow-up<br>4. Morbidity from WLE is assessed by reviewing patient notes post-operatively<br>;1.
