Mohs micrographic surgery is a complex, specialized technique for the treatment of difficult or recurrent skin cancers. This procedure differs from all other types of surgical procedure because you get the benefit of one individual acting as your surgeon and pathologist; in addition 100% of the surgical margins are examined microscopically. As a result, supported by scientific literature, cure rates frequently are higher and healthy tissue surrounding the skin cancer is preserved.
