MOHS SURGERY
Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique designed to eliminate skin cancer systematically, layer by layer, in order to eradicate cancer cells. First developed by Frederic E. Mohs, MD, in the late 1930s, it began gaining popularity in the 1960s.During a Mohs procedure, the surgeon removes extremely thin layers of skin, examining each layer for signs of cancer as you wait. This strategy allows the surgeon to see where the cancer stops and completely remove it while saving as much healthy tissue as possible.Mohs is a popular option to treat skin cancer because it has a high success rate. It's a low-risk procedure that doesn't require general anesthesia, and this technique has up to 99% success rate for skin cancer not previously treated.
