We also offer Mohs micrographic surgery in our Mohs Surgery
Suite (pictured here) .
It is an advanced surgical technique for the treatment of skin
cancer. It is performed by a highly trained specialist who
serves as the surgeon, pathologist and the reconstructive surgeon. It
relies on the microscope to trace and map the skin cancer to ensure
complete removal while preserving or saving healthy, normal tissue. Mohs
micrographic surgery offers the highest cure rate, the lowest chance
of re-growths, and minimizes the potential for scarring or disfigurement
by offering the most exact and precise means of cancer removal.
Fellowship trained Mohs surgeons are physicians who have extensive
knowledge of the skin and its healing properties, as well as training
in reconstructive surgery. The surgery is performed on an outpatient
basis, under local anesthesia. |
