Mohs surgery

Mohs surgery for the treatment of skin cancer

Mohs surgery, also known as micrographic surgery, is a highly precise procedure for the removal of skin cancer that offers maximum chances of recovery with minimal tissue loss. At Dermanence, we specialise in this particularly gentle technique to ensure our patients receive the best possible care and safety.

What is Mohs surgery?

Mohs surgery is a surgical method for treating skin cancer in which the affected tissue is removed layer by layer and immediately analysed under a microscope. This procedure makes it possible to detect and remove even the smallest cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. Mohs surgery is particularly effective for skin cancers such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, especially in areas where skin and structure are to be preserved, such as the face, neck and hands.

Advantages of Mohs surgery at Dermanence

Precision and thoroughness: By removing and examining the layers of tissue step by step, we achieve the highest precision and thoroughness.

Preservation of healthy tissue: Thanks to the targeted approach, only the diseased tissue is removed, leaving healthy tissue untouched.

Higher cure rates: Mohs surgery is one of the most successful methods for removing skin cancer, with cure rates of over 99% for certain skin cancers.

Aesthetically pleasing results: Mohs surgery is the method of choice for minimising visible scarring, especially in sensitive skin areas.

The Dermanence process

At Dermanence, you will be cared for by an experienced team of specialists throughout the entire treatment process. Before the treatment, you will receive a detailed consultation in which all your questions will be answered and the Mohs surgery process will be explained in detail. On the day of the treatment, the affected skin area is numbed with a local anaesthetic. The procedure then begins, in which tissue is removed in layers and examined under a microscope. This ensures that all cancer cells have been completely removed before the wound is closed on the same day.

Our specialists at Dermanence combine medical expertise with the latest technology to provide you with the best possible care. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can offer you not only the best possible chances of recovery but also an aesthetically pleasing result.

Who is a candidate for Mohs surgery?

Mohs surgery is particularly recommended for recurrent skin cancer, hard-to-reach areas or aesthetically sensitive areas. We will be happy to advise you personally on whether this method is suitable for your individual situation.
