Mohs Micrographic Surgery — General Overview
How Mohs surgery works for selected skin cancers.
Mohs surgery is designed to remove skin cancer while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. Thin layers of tissue are removed and checked under a microscope to determine whether cancer cells remain at the edge.
Treatment planning, tissue removal, reconstruction, wound care and follow-up depend on the diagnosis, treatment site and individual clinical needs.
Assess
Review the diagnosis, location, skin cancer type and treatment options.
Remove
Remove thin tissue layers and check the margins under a microscope during the visit.
Repair
Plan closure with attention to movement, healing, comfort and appearance.
Follow
