Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a precise surgical method with a very high cure rate. Named in honor of Dr. Frederic Mohs who pioneered the concept, the technique involves a layer-by-layer excision of tissue around a cancer, with examination of 100% of the surgical margins. The physician performing Mohs surgery acts as both the surgeon and pathologist, and performs the surgery under local anesthetic in the office.
