What is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs Surgery is a micrographically controlled procedure, providing the most precise method for removal of the cancerous tissue, while sparing the greatest amount of healthy tissue. For this reason, Mohs surgery may result in a significantly smaller surgical defect and less noticeable scarring, as compared to other methods of skin cancer treatment. Mohs surgery has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for certain types of skin cancer, with a cure rate of up to 99% for certain tumors.

What are the indications for Mohs Surgery?

The Mohs procedure is recommended for skin cancer removal in anatomic areas where maximum preservation of healthy tissue is desirable for cosmetic and functional purposes, such as the T zones of the face. It may also be indicated for lesions that have recurred following prior treatment, or for lesions with aggressive histology which may suggest greater likelihood of recurrence.

Understanding Mohs Surgery

MOHS Surgery Patient Information 

MOHS Surgery is a specialized technique for the removal of skin cancer. MOHS Surgery differs from other skin cancer treatments because it permits the complete removal of all of the cancerous tissue in one office visit. The tissue is examined upon removal with a greater than 98% cure rate. MOHS Surgery is also tissue sparing (which means that when compared to conventional plastic surgery, the amount of scarring is even less).  

We would like for you to be as comfortable as possible and prepared to be in the office for a few hours. Most cases can be completed in three or fewer stages, requiring less than four hours. However, it is not possible to predict how extensive a cancer will be in advance. We recommend that you reserve the entire day for this procedure. We recommend that you prepare in the following ways: 

• Advise the doctor prior to the surgery if you are currently on any blood thinning medications. We may need to contact your primary care physician.
• Do not take medications like Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Motrin for at least two days prior to the surgery.  
• Wear casual, layered clothing for your comfort.
• Please eat normally on the day of the surgery. We suggest that you also brought a light snack or lunch.
