What is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs surgery is a highly specialised type of surgery that can be used to treat skin cancer on all parts of the body.

The surgery involves the removal of cancerous tissue one layer at a time. Each layer of unhealthy tissue that has been removed is then examined under a microscope real time, to establish whether the skin tissue contains cancerous cells. If cancer cells are present, your surgeon will remove additional layers of tissue in smaller segments all in that same day until all of the unhealthy (cancerous) tissue has been removed.

What are the benefits of Mohs Surgery?

Mohs surgery offers several benefits over other forms of skin cancer treatment. Some of these benefits include:

• A method associated with high clearance rates for cancerous tissue, performed in a controlled environment.
• Mohs surgery has the lowest rate of skin cancer returning to the site operated on once removed (lowest recurrence rate)
• Mohs surgery is associated with high cure rates for common skin cancers such as Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
• Allowing safe and convenient reconstructive surgery to be undertaken on the same day.
• Maximising the final cosmetic outcome after reconstructive surgery by Specialist Plastic Surgeons because the resulting defect after cancer removal is kept to the smallest size possible.
