Mohs Micrographic Surgery Mapping Techniques

Mohs Micrographic Surgery Mapping Techniques

Mohs micrographic surgery is a precise and effective technique for removing skin cancer, particularly in areas where preserving healthy tissue and cosmesis is paramount. The surgical procedure involves systematic removal and examination of thin layers of tissue, allowing for real-time assessment of margins and ensuring complete excision of cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissue. Mohs surgery boasts high cure rates and minimal scarring, making it especially valuable for treating tumors on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face and neck. The intraoperative mapping technique is central to the success of Mohs micrographic surgical resection. Using precise mapping techniques facilitates accurate tumor processing, ensures complete tumor extirpation, and facilitates optimal patient outcomes.This activity for healthcare professionals describes the specimen mapping techniques employed during Mohs micrographic surgical extirpation of cutaneous neoplasms and highlights the role of interprofessional team members in employing accurate mapping techniques to improve outcomes for patients undergoing this procedure.
