The Most Precise Skin Cancer Removal Technique
Mohs surgery is a highly advanced, tissue-sparing procedure used to remove certain types of skin cancer with the highest success rate. At Dr. Abdiaziz Dermatology Clinic, we provide expert evaluation, diagnosis, and referral for Mohs surgery when necessary—ensuring our patients receive the safest and most effective care.
What Is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized skin cancer treatment that removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. Each layer is examined under a microscope during the procedure to ensure all cancer cells are removed.
It is the gold standard for treating skin cancers with high recurrence risk or those located in sensitive areas.
Skin Cancers Treated with Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is commonly recommended for:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
- Recurrent or aggressive skin cancers
- Cancers with ill-defined borders
- Lesions located in cosmetically important areas, such as:
- Nose
- Eyelids
- Lips
- Ears
- Scalp
- Hands
Benefits of Mohs Surgery
- Highest cure rate (up to 99% for some cancers)
- Preserves healthy skin, minimizing scarring
- Immediate lab results during the procedure
- One-day outpatient treatment
- Ideal for areas where precision is critical
How Mohs Surgery Works
- Initial evaluation and mapping of the cancerous lesion
- Removal of a thin skin layer containing the tumor
- Microscopic examination of the tissue
- Repeat removal only where cancer remains
- Wound reconstruction after clear margins are confirmed
This process continues until no cancer cells remain.
