What Is Mohs Surgery?
 

Mohs surgery is the most effective treatment for many common types of skin cancer. This specialized procedure removes skin cancer one layer at a time while examining each layer under a microscope during surgery. By precisely identifying and removing cancer cells, Mohs surgery provides the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy skin as possible.

Mohs surgery is commonly used to treat:

• Basal cell carcinoma

• Squamous cell carcinoma

• Certain melanomas

• Recurrent or high-risk skin cancers
   

It is especially useful for cancers located on the face, ears, nose, lips, scalp, hands, and other areas where preserving healthy tissue is important.
 

Benefits of Mohs Surgery

• Highest cure rates for skin cancer

• Often completed in a single visit
   

Reconstruction After Surgery
 

Once the cancer has been removed, the area may be repaired with stitches, a skin flap, or a skin graft, depending on the size and location of the surgical site. Most repairs are completed the same day.
