Mohs surgery, also referred to as “Mohs Micrographic Surgery” is ideal for the removal of skin cancers in cosmetically and functionally critical areas such as on the head, neck, hands, and feet. It is also frequently recommended to treat skin cancers that have recurred. Mohs surgery removes the visible tumor and any “roots” that may extend beneath the skin surface.
