The Mohs surgery procedure is done under local anesthesia. Photographs are taken before, during and after surgery. The majority of your time will be spent waiting for the slide
preparation and interpretation. Once the tissue has been surgically removed, the wound is dressed with a temporary bandage and you will be escorted to a private waiting area to rest while the tissue is being processed. Our tranquil Mohs waiting area offers HDTV, Wifi, and a breakfast bar. The number of times you return to the surgical suite for removal of tissue is determined by the results of microscopic examination of the
tissue. The tumor may require only one stage for complete removal or multiple stages. The surgery is continued until the tumor is completely removed by the microscopic examination.
You should plan to spend the entire day in the clinic. The procedure may last from a couple of hours to several hours, rarely running into the next day.
