Mohs microsurgery

Mohs microsurgery is a precise surgical technique used primarily to treat skin cancer. The goal is to remove cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This method involves examining each layer under a microscope during the procedure to ensure complete cancer removal. It is commonly used for cancers in sensitive or cosmetically important areas. The approach minimizes scarring and maximizes cure rates. Mohs surgery is often performed under local anesthesia. It is considered one of the most effective treatments for certain types of skin cancer.
