Mohs Surgeon and critical care
A Mohs surgeon is a specialized dermatologist or dermatologic surgeon trained to perform Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly effective procedure for treating skin cancer. This technique is widely regarded as the gold standard for removing certain types of skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and some melanomas, due to its precision and high cure rates. Mohs surgery is a meticulous, tissue-sparing procedure where the surgeon removes cancerous tissue layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope until only cancer-free tissue remains. This approach allows the Mohs surgeon to achieve complete cancer removal while preserving as much healthy surrounding tissue as possible, making it particularly valuable for treating cancers in cosmetically sensitive or functionally critical areas like the face, scalp, hands, or genitals. Mohs surgeons are experts in both dermatology and pathology, as they perform the surgical excision and immediately analyze the removed tissue in an on-site laboratory to identify and precisely map the extent of the cancer. They work closely with patients to ensure minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic outcomes, often employing reconstructive techniques following cancer removal. Mohs surgeons also collaborate with other medical professionals, such as plastic surgeons or oncologists, for complex cases requiring multidisciplinary care. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, with patients receiving same-day results and treatment. This efficiency reduces the need for additional surgeries, minimizes patient anxiety, and ensures a high level of safety and comfort. Mohs surgeons undergo extensive training beyond dermatology residency, completing specialized fellowships to master the surgical and pathological skills required for this advanced technique. Their expertise extends to educating patients about skin cancer prevention, early detection, and post-surgical care to reduce recurrence risk. By combining surgical precision, pathological expertise, and aesthetic sensibility, Mohs surgeons play a critical role in treating skin cancer effectively while preserving function and appearance, offering patients the best possible outcomes and a renewed sense of confidence in their health and well-being.
