WHAT IS MOHS MICROGRAPHIC SURGERY
The skin cancer treatment with the highest cure rate
Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialized, highly effective technique for the removal of skin cancer. It is typically is reserved for treatment of cancers that are large, recurrent, aggressive histologically and at high risk for recurrence or metastasis. Mohs surgery is also indicated for cancers located in areas such as the nose, ears, eyelids, lips, hairline, hands, feet, and genitals, in which maximal preservation of healthy tissue is critical for cosmetic or functional purpose.
Mohs surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art office with fully equipped surgical and laboratory facilities and experienced staff. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
HOW IT WORKS

Precise, Tissue-Sparing Procedure
Because tissue is removed and examined layer by layer, only cancerous tissue is removed, sparing as much healthy skin as possible — which is why Mohs has the highest reported cure rate of any skin cancer treatment.

History of Mohs Micrographic Surgery
The procedure was developed in the 1930s by a general surgeon, Dr. Frederic Mohs at the University of Wisconsin and is now practiced throughout the world. Mohs surgery differs from other skin cancer treatments in that it permits the immediate and complete microscopic examination of the removed cancerous tissue, so that all “roots” and extensions of the cancer can be eradicated. Due to the methodical manner in which tissue is removed and examined, Mohs surgery has been recognized as the skin cancer treatment with the highest reported cure rate.
