Mohs surgery is a precise and effective technique for removing skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. It involves removing cancerous skin layers one at a time and examining them under a microscope until no cancer cells remain. This process ensures complete removal of cancer while minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy skin. Performed by skilled dermatologic surgeons, Mohs surgery offers a high cure rate and minimal scarring, making it the gold standard for skin cancer treatment.
Mohs surgery provides numerous advantages for skin cancer treatment:
Mohs surgery is an effective solution for various types of skin cancer, including:
Mohs surgery is performed in a comfortable, step-by-step process:
Patients typically receive confirmation of complete cancer removal on the same day. Healing begins immediately, with stitches or reconstruction taking a few weeks to heal fully. Cosmetic results improve over time, with scars fading gradually.
Mohs Surgery is primarily used to treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is also effective for treating certain types of melanoma, particularly when the cancer is located in sensitive or hard-to-treat areas.
Mohs Surgery is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area being treated. As a result, patients generally do not experience pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
The duration of Mohs Surgery varies depending on the size and location of the skin cancer. The procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours, as each layer of tissue is removed and examined under a microscope. If further layers are needed, the process may take longer.
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the location of the skin cancer. Most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few days, though it’s important to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing. Swelling and bruising may occur, but they typically subside within a week or two.
While Mohs Surgery is designed to minimize scarring by preserving healthy tissue, a scar will form where the cancerous tissue was removed. The size of the scar depends on the extent of the surgery and its location. In most cases, scars heal well, especially when the procedure is done on areas with good blood circulation, such as the face.
In many cases, Mohs Surgery is covered by insurance, particularly if the procedure is medically necessary for the treatment of skin cancer. It’s important to check with your insurance provider before the procedure to confirm coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses.
