The Clinical Benefits of Mohs Surgery

PRECISION

Immediate Microscopic Verification

Mohs allows the surgeon to see exactly where the cancer stops, cell by cell, while you wait. This eliminates the guesswork of traditional excision.

SPARING

Maximum Tissue Preservation

By removing only the cancerous tissue, Mohs leaves the maximum amount of healthy skin, which is crucial for areas like the nose, ears, and eyelids.

CURE RATE

Highest Cure Rate Available

Mohs surgery has a cure rate of up to 99% for new skin cancers and up to 94% for recurrent cancers, making it the gold standard in treatment.

Following your Mohs surgery, proper care is essential for the best cosmetic and functional results. You will receive detailed written instructions, but key elements include:

• Keep the pressure bandage in place for 24-48 hours.
• Clean the site gently with mild soap and water daily.
• Apply ointment as directed to keep the wound moist.
• Avoid strenuous activity that could strain the surgical area.
• Monitor for signs of infection such as increasing redness or warmth.
