How Mohs Micrographic

Surgery Works

A Step-by-Step Process for Precision and Comfort

1

Preparation: The area is cleaned, marked, and numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort.

2

Layered Removal: The visible tumor and a thin layer of surrounding skin are removed.

3

Microscopic Examination: The tissue is mapped, color-coded, and analyzed under a microscope.

4

Focused Treatment: If cancer cells are detected, additional layers are removed only from affected areas.

5

Wound Repair: After all cancer cells are removed, the surgeon discusses the best options for cosmetic and functional wound closure.

This meticulous process ensures that all cancer is removed while preserving healthy tissue, minimizing scarring, and offering immediate results—all in a single visit.
