Mohs Surgery
What is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs surgery is a specialized, highly effective technique for the removal of skin cancer. The procedure was developed in the 1930’s by 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 the “roots” and extensions of the cancer can be eliminated with the smallest possible scar.
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.
Special Qualifications of the Mohs Surgeon
Physicians performing Mohs surgery should have specialized skills in dermatology, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology, and also should have taken advanced training in a dermatologic procedures fellowship.
In addition, the Mohs surgeon must have the required surgical and laboratory facilities and be supported by a well-trained Mohs nursing and histotech staff.
