Mohs surgery is the preferred method of skin cancer removal, particularly for patients with large or poorly defined squamous cell carcinomas on the face, hand, and other sensitive skin areas. It’s a micrographic surgery trusted and performed by medical professionals across the world. Unlike other skin cancer treatments, Mohs micrographic surgery gives the surgeon the ability to see where the cancer stops, allowing the patient to keep your healthy skin intact. It’s perfect for cancer that forms in sensitive areas with little tissue, like on your eyelid or between your fingers.
Mohs surgery is a non-invasive outpatient procedure done under local anesthetic using microscopic technology. During the surgery, thin layers of cancerous tissue are removed and examined. When cancer cells are seen within the specimen’s margin, the surgeon continues to remove and examine tissue layers only from that section of the wound eliminating the need for re-excision. The procedure progresses until all cancerous tissue has been removed. Unlike traditional treatment, which requires re-excision and the removal of entire specimens, only the cancerous tissue is removed, which saves as much normal skin as possible and reduces scarring.

Due to the incremental nature of the procedure, Mohs surgery takes whatever amount of time is necessary to remove the cancerous cells from your skin. The surgery ends once your surgeon has confirmed that you are officially cancer free.
Medical professionals consider Mohs micrographic surgery to be one of the safer surgical procedures available. It is easily performed in a medical office and does not require general anesthesia and is normally completed in a single outpatient visit.
Yes, Mohs surgery will leave a scar, just like any treatment for skin cancer. The benefit with Mohs, however, is that it only receives cancerous tissue and not healthy tissue, which means scarring is minimal compared to traditional procedures.
Your surgeon will bandage your wound once the procedure is complete. The wound will be minor since only the minimal amount of tissue was removed. Keep it bandaged for a couple days and make sure to avoid infection.
