Mohs surgery is a surgical procedure to remove skin tumors, carcinomas, of the face and body with intraoperative microscopic control of the margins.
Mohs micrographic surgery differs from traditional surgical techniques in its precision: the surgeon is able to verify during excision that the tumor has been completely removed. This surgical technique achieves very high probability of success, with minimal skin sacrifice, this gives obvious aesthetic and functional advantages, especially in the face.

Tumor removal with minimal amount of healthy skin

Immediate histological examination and possible removal of other skin ONLY where necessary

Once total elimination of the tumor (radicality) is achieved, cosmetic repair of the surgical wound is performed in the same operating session. This means that the patient has completed the surgery, without the need to return to the operating room after several days with the wound open, as is the case with other techniques of “margin marking” or so-called “deferred” Mohs surgery.

Skin cancers that can be treated with Mohs chirurgi adi Mohs:

• Basal cell carcinomas (basaliomas), particularly recurrent or scleroderma of the face.
• Spinocellular carcinomas
• Dermatofibrosarcoma protruberans (DFSP)
• Bowen’s disease
• Extramammary Paget’s disease
• Eccrine porocarcinoma and other non-melanocytic malignancies.
• Lentigo Maligna of the face
• Skin cancers present at sites where saving the skin removed is important
