Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialized, tissue-sparing surgical technique frequently utilized when managing various skin cancers. The overall complication rate of Mohs micrographic surgery is low, but clinicians must be prepared to address any complications that may arise, including bleeding, infection, necrosis, dehiscence, pain, and scarring. Management strategies range from conservative measures such as wound care and pain management to more invasive interventions, including surgical revision or drainage. Timely recognition, appropriate intervention, and effective communication among healthcare team members are essential for optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing risks associated with Mohs micrographic surgical procedures.This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the most commonly encountered complications of Mohs micrographic surgical procedures and their interventions, including hemostatic methods, wound care, infection control, pain management, and scar revision techniques. It facilitates identifying potential complications, implementing appropriate interventions, and coordinating multidisciplinary care to optimize patient outcomes.
