About Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly specialized procedure for the removal of skin cancer. It was originally developed in the 1930's by Dr. Frederick Mohs and has been refined since, gaining substantial application only in the past decade.
Although this procedure is very precise, its major drawback is that it is very time consuming, and requires specialized training, personnel, and equipment. Consequently, only a few major medical centers can provide this type of therapy.
