Introduction To Mohs

Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique for treating skin cancers. Thin layers of tissue are carefully removed and analysed until only cancer-free tissue remains, ensuring medical success with minimal damage.

The aesthetic benefits make Mohs surgery particularly suited for skin cancers on the face or neck. The procedure offers high cure rates, with an approach that has been refined by specialists over time.

A key difference between Mohs surgery and standard excision is that Mohs involves laboratory analysis of each layer of tissue removed, which is done during the procedure itself, rather than sending a biopsy sample to an external lab.

After the tissue removal, a temporary dressing is applied, and the patient waits comfortably in a nearby room to find out whether further removal is needed.

There is also a less commonly used variation called “slow Mohs,” which involves longer intervals between stages, but even then, the procedure remains relatively quick and effective.
