Understanding MOHS Surgery:
Skin Cancer Treatment
Process
What is Mohs Surgery?
Curing skin cancer is what Mohs surgery was designed to do.
This specialized micrographic (i.e., tissue studied under a microscope) procedure was developed by Dr. Frederick Mohs to spare as much tissue as possible while producing high cure rates. Given the highly technical nature of the procedure, Mohs surgery should only be performed by a trained Mohs surgeon who is also board-certified in plastic surgery.
Summary
MOHS Surgery Benefits
MOHS surgery has a high cure rate, up to 99%, for certain types of skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, and is generally associated with fewer complications compared to other surgical techniques used to treat skin cancer.
Our MOHS surgeons use a specialized technique that involves removing the cancerous tissue layer by layer and examining each layer under a microscope to ensure that all cancerous cells have been removed. This precision helps to precisely identify the boundaries of the cancerous tissue and minimize the removal of healthy tissue.
By precisely removing only the affected tissue, MOHS surgery can help to minimize scarring and improve cosmetic outcomes.
Because our surgeons examine the tissue under a microscope immediately after it is removed, MOHS surgery can often be completed in a single day, with results available immediately.
Consultation
Mohs surgery consultations are available at all Plastic Surgery Center locations. The best treatment plan for you will depend on various factors, including the type of cancer and the extent of tissue involved. During your consultation, you will meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is also highly trained in micrographic pathology. They will review your medical history, answer questions, and discuss your ideal surgical outcomes to make personalized recommendations.
