What is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs surgery is a specialized technique used to remove certain types of skin cancer, such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This procedure involves the removal of cancerous tissue layer by layer, with each layer being immediately examined under a microscope to ensure all cancer cells are removed. This method minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and results in the highest cure rates for skin cancer, making it one of the most effective treatment options available.

Skin Cancer Types Treated with Mohs Surgery

Melanoma: Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, originating in the pigment-producing cells of the skin. If not treated early, it can spread to other parts of the body. Mohs surgery offers a highly effective method for removing melanoma with precision, ensuring the best possible outcome for our patients.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, often appearing on sun-exposed areas like the face and neck. While it rarely spreads to other parts of the body, it can cause significant tissue damage. Mohs surgery is ideal for large or recurrent BCCs, as it ensures the complete removal of the cancer while minimizing scarring.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): Squamous cell carcinoma is a common type of skin cancer that can spread to nearby lymph nodes and other organs if left untreated. Mohs surgery is often recommended for SCCs located in sensitive or cosmetic areas, such as the face, as it ensures the cancer is entirely removed with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.

What to Expect During Mohs Surgery

1. Initial Consultation: To make the process as seamless as possible, we offer an initial consultation via phone. This allows you to discuss your concerns, understand the procedure, and ask questions about the surgery before visiting the clinic.
2. Procedure: During the surgery, local anesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The cancerous tissue is removed layer by layer, and each layer is examined under a microscope to confirm that all cancer cells have been excised.
3. Microscopic Analysis: The key benefit of Mohs surgery is that each layer of removed tissue is immediately examined under a microscope. This allows Dr. Doumit and our team to ensure that all cancer cells are completely removed while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
4. Reconstruction: Once the cancerous tissue is removed, reconstruction may be necessary to ensure optimal healing and cosmetic results. This can often be done on the same day or during a follow-up visit, depending on the extent of the surgery.

Post-Surgery Care

Following the procedure, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. We will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure there are no complications. Dr. Doumit and the team at Clini Derma are committed to providing ongoing support throughout your recovery.
