Abstract

This chapter mainly focuses on the antithrombotic therapy and dermatosurgery. With proper knowledge and precautions, dermatosurgery can be safely performed in patients on antithrombotics. Antiplatelets and anticoagulants are the two main classes of drugs which are described in this chapter. This chapter aims to discuss the brief overview of antithrombotics, which includes aspirin, warfarin and clopidogrel. A detailed discussion on recommendations for perioperative management of antithrombotics has been provided in this chapter. Two well-illustrated tables on classifications of risk antithrombosis and summary of recommendations for perioperative management are also presented in this chapter, which are very helpful for better understanding.
