Mohs Surgery
Mohs Surgery is a specialized form of skin cancer treatment used to remove the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. The surgery is named after Frederic Mohs, who developed the technique in the 1930s. The process involves removing the cancerous cells layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope as it is removed to ensure complete removal of the tumor. Once the cancer is completely removed, the wound is closed and treated for healing. Mohs Surgery provides the highest rate of success in treating skin cancers and can help preserve the cosmetic appearance of the operated area. It is especially useful for cancers located around delicate areas like eyes, ears and nose.
