A systematic search of multiple databases was performed with controlled vocabulary and key words. This report follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Two independent reviewers screened articles for inclusion and extracted data. Conflicts were resolved through consensus. Case series, case-control studies, cohort studies and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reporting SSI rate among patients who underwent MMS with flap/graft closures, primary closure, or secondary intention healing were included. Additional methods can be found in the Supplement.
