Regular Excision

Regular excision involves removing the tumor with a predetermined margin in one go and sending it to a separate lab for analysis. The lab will examine the tissue microscopically to ensure that all of the tumor was removed.

Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery is a precise method of removing skin cancer. Your surgeon will remove all visible tumor and analyze it in the office to make sure that all the tumor was removed. We have a comfortable waiting room with drinks and snacks for our Mohs patients to relax in while the tissue is being examined. If there is residual tumor, your surgeon will do a second stage that same day, and repeat the process until all of the tumor is removed. This means that less healthy tissue is removed during Mohs surgery when compared with regular excision, and that you leave the office that day knowing that your cancer has been 100% removed.
