Mohs surgery
Effective method to remove skin cancer
-
Ideal for growths in visible areas of the face, head, neck, fingers, etc.
-
Preserves as much healthy skin and tissue function as possible and minimizes cosmetic scars
- Maximizes success in a single surgery
-
Basal cell carcinoma: spreads as growths on the skin
-
Squamous cell carcinoma: considered aggressive and may spread to the lymph nodes
-
Superficial spreading melanoma: the most dangerous skin cancer, manifested by black or brown spots, which must be eliminated quickly
Under the Mohs method principles, the surgeon is responsible for the entire process: assessing the patient, performing the procedure, and examining the removed tissue under the microscope. This helps ensure greater accuracy and shorten patient recovery.
