Mohs Surgery is a refined, layer-by-layer skin cancer removal technique developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederic Mohs. This method allows surgeons to remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible, making it ideal for areas where cosmetic outcomes are a priority—like the face, scalp, neck, and hands.
Unlike traditional excision, Mohs surgery includes microscopic evaluation of all tissue margins during the procedure, ensuring complete removal of cancer cells in real-time.
- Consultation & Evaluation: Dr. Awadalla will assess your diagnosis and determine if Mohs is the best option for your case.
- Layer-by-Layer Removal: Cancerous tissue is removed one layer at a time. Each layer is examined under a microscope while you wait.
- On-Site Pathology: If cancer cells remain, additional layers are removed until all margins are clear.
- Reconstruction (If Needed): Once the cancer is fully removed, your provider will determine the best way to close the wound—often resulting in minimal scarring.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and completed in one visit.
