Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly effective procedure for treating skin cancer. It involves removing thin layers of cancerous tissue one at a time and immediately examining each layer under a microscope. This precise method allows for the complete removal of cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. At Revere Health, we offer Mohs surgery to ensure the highest cure rates for skin cancer, especially for complex cases or areas where tissue conservation is important, such as the face.

How Mohs Surgery Works
Layer-by-Layer Removal: The surgeon removes a thin layer of skin tissue where cancer is present and examines it under a microscope for cancer cells.
Immediate Examination: Each layer is carefully analyzed until no cancer cells remain, ensuring complete removal of the cancerous tissue.
Tissue Preservation: Because the surgery focuses only on removing affected tissue, healthy skin is preserved as much as possible.

Conditions Treated by Mohs Surgery
Basal Cell Carcinoma: The most common form of skin cancer, often treated effectively with Mohs surgery.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Another common type of skin cancer that can be removed using this precise technique.
Recurrent or Aggressive Skin Cancers: Mohs is particularly useful for cancers that have recurred or are located in sensitive areas where tissue preservation is important.

Benefits of Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Highest Cure Rate: Mohs surgery offers one of the highest cure rates for skin cancer, especially for basal and squamous cell carcinomas.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure removes only the cancerous tissue, leaving as much healthy skin as possible intact.
Immediate Results: Because each layer is examined immediately, patients leave knowing whether all cancer cells have been removed.
Tissue Conservation: Ideal for skin cancers located in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face, hands, and neck.
