Mohs Surgery
Overview
Mohs surgery is also known as Mohs micrographic surgery it is a specialised technique used to treat skin cancer. It involves removing cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This procedure is particularly effective for skin cancers that are located on sensitive areas such as the face, nose and ears, as well as for cancers that have a high recurrence rate. Mohs surgery is a precise and highly effective treatment for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and certain types of melanoma.
