Mohs Micrographic Surgery is an advanced, highly precise technique for removing skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This procedure is widely recognized as the gold standard for treating basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), offering the highest cure rate and minimal scarring. By carefully examining each layer of tissue during surgery, Mohs ensures complete cancer removal with optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized technique used to precisely remove skin cancer layer by layer while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Each layer is examined under a microscope during the procedure to ensure complete cancer removal before the surgery is completed. This method is particularly effective for treating cancers in delicate or high-risk areas, such as the face, ears, hands, and neck, where tissue preservation is crucial.
Mohs Surgery offers several key advantages for skin cancer treatment, including:
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the preferred treatment for individuals diagnosed with certain types of skin cancer. The best candidates include:
The recovery from Mohs Surgery varies depending on the size and depth of the removed cancerous tissue. Most patients experience mild swelling and redness that subsides within a few days. Stitches are typically removed within a week, and post-procedure care includes keeping the area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and applying recommended topical treatments to support healing. Scar revision treatments may be available for optimal cosmetic results.
Mohs Surgery is performed in multiple stages. After removing each layer of tissue, the surgeon immediately examines it under a microscope to ensure all cancerous cells are gone. This process continues until no cancer remains, allowing for the most precise removal with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue. The entire procedure typically takes a few hours, and most patients can return home the same day with little to no downtime.
