Objective. <P></P>To examine the management and problems associated with cutaneous surgery in patients with inherited clotting factor deficiencies. Methods. <P></P>Case report and review of the medical literature. Results. <P></P>Reconstructive options must be carefully chosen to minimize bleeding in patients with clotting factor deficiencies. Preoperative consultation with a hematologist and coagulation factor replacement both before and after cutaneous surgery prevent excessive hemorrhage. Conclusion. <P></P>Meticulous attention to hemostasis, careful preoperative assessment, and postoperative follow-up minimize complications in patients with known coagulation deficiencies who require cutaneous surgery.",
