Mohs micrographic surgery.
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialized type of minimal marginal surgery that offers cure rates superior to other options in the treatment of contiguous skin cancers in selected settings. Developed by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, the technique originally required in situ tissue fixation before excision. Most Mohs micrographic surgeons now use the fresh tissue technique exclusively. Horizontal...
متن کاملA Malignant Granular Cell Tumor Excised with Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Malignant granular cell tumors are extremely rare, aggressive neoplasms displaying rapid growth and frequent associated metastatic disease. Excision and evaluation for metastatic disease are mandatory. We present a 54-year-old patient with a malignant granular cell tumor, treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. Cutaneous granular cell tumors are uncommon neoplasms, likely of perineural origin. ...
متن کاملCost analysis: Mohs micrographic surgery.
BACKGROUND With the continuing increase in the incidence of skin cancer, delivery of cost-efficient skin cancer treatment is a top priority. OBJECTIVE To compare costs associated with removal of skin cancers using Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) with that using standard surgical excision (SSE) with frozen or permanent margin control in the office or an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). METHO...
متن کاملUtility of dermoscopy for demarcation of surgical margins in Mohs micrographic surgery*
BACKGROUND Skin cancer is the most common malignancy and can be treated in various ways. One treatment modality is Mohs micrographic surgery. Due to the increasing incidence of skin cancer in the last decades, there is a need for improvement of the Mohs technique to optimize its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of dermoscopy to guide demarcation of Mohs m...
متن کاملDouble-Bladed Scalpel in Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery is a tissue-sparing technique that allows for excision of cutaneous tumors under complete microscopic margins control. Mohs surgery boasts high cure rates and maximum tissue conservation. We introduce the double-blade scalpel in Mohs surgery as a timesaving and easy way to harvest tissue strips of uniform width and therefore increase the intraoperative efficiency of th...
