What is Mohs Micrographic Surgery?

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized surgical technique used to treat selected types of skin cancer, particularly when the tumour is recurrent or located in delicate areas such as the face, nose, eyelids, or lips.

During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes thin layers of tissue, with each layer examined microscopically to identify cancer cells at the surgical margins. This detailed examination helps guide the removal of affected tissue while preserving as much healthy surrounding skin as possible. Mohs surgery is one treatment option for selected skin cancers, depending on the diagnosis, location, extent of the tumour, and individual clinical assessment.

When Might Mohs Surgery Be Considered?

You may be an ideal candidate for Mohs micrographic surgery if you have:

Your overall health, type of skin cancer, medical history, and clinical assessment help your dermatologist determine whether Mohs surgery is suitable for you. A consultation with a board-certified Mohs surgeon is essential to evaluate your case and design a personalized treatment plan.
