Description
The Mohs Surgery This allows for a microscopic analysis of 100% of the margins of the excised specimen (lateral and deep) at the same time as the surgery, through the collaborative work of the dermatologist and the pathologist, with the latter requiring a pathology technician trained in specimen sectioning. This allows for the immediate excision of any residual cancerous tissue with a safe minimal margin of healthy skin, avoiding broader surgeries and their subsequent complications such as bleeding, re-interventions, or scarring.
The cure rate for skin cancer using Mohs surgery is 99% compared to the 80% offered by conventional surgery.
