MOHS SURGERY
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialised and highly effective treatment for skin cancer. It offers the highest cure rate (up to 99%).
At our clinic, Dr Chen removes the skin cancer and immediately processes it for microscopic analysis. Mohs surgery allows for the evaluation of the whole circumference and depth of the tissue. If there are any skin cancer cells visualised, then another layer of skin is removed. Once all the cancer cells are removed, Dr Chen reconstructs the skin on the same day for an optimal cosmetic outcome.
Due to the higher accuracy of Mohs micrographic surgery, it is also tissue sparing, meaning that it minimises the removal of healthy tissue, leading to a better cosmetic outcome.
Advantages of Mohs Micrographic Surgery:
- It offers the highest long term cure rate of up to 99%.
- Minimises removal of healthy tissue, therefore, leading to a better cosmetic outcome.
- Same day procedure for skin cancer removal and reconstruction of the wound.
