Removal of skin growths by MOHS method
The MOHS
method is a filigree microsurgical removal of malignant skin growths with maximum preservation of healthy tissues
.
- High efficiency - complete removal of all tumor cells
- Outpatient, 1-4 hours
- The result of histology is immediately
- Excellent cosmetic effect
- Minimal risk of recurrence
How is the procedure going?
In the surgeon's office under local anesthesia:
- Color marking and mapping of tumor edges.
- Removal of the visible part of the tumor by capturing 1-2 mm of visually unchanged skin along the edges of the tumor.
- The doctor has at his disposal a "puzzle" of a neoplasm, each detail of which is marked in such a way that you clearly know where it came from.
- Examination of all the edges of the resection right during the operation by a histologist in a specially equipped histological laboratory. If cancer cells are found in any fragment of the "puzzle", the surgeon removes an additional area of skin only from the limited area from which this fragment was taken. This is where the principle of color mapping helps. The process continues until the entire neoplasm is completely removed, and the edges of the cancer puzzle are recognized by the histologist as "clean". This ensures complete removal of the tumor and preservation of healthy tissues.
- The defect is closed using cosmetic sutures using plastic and reconstructive techniques.
What are the advantages of the MOHS method?
- The patient goes home with confidence in the radical removal, does not wait 7-10 days for the result of histology.
- Low risk of recurrence due to scrupulous cell-by-cell histological analysis of the skin layers around the neoplasm.
- Excellent cosmetic effect.
At the EMC, such operations are performed by surgeon Roman Kartashov. The doctor graduated from a highly specialized course in the Mohs ESMS Mohs Surgery Course in the Netherlands.
