Question: When is it done? Answer: Mohs Micrographic Surgery is not done as a routine procedure. For most routine skin cancers, simple cutting out (excision) or scraping is done. The patients who come for Mohs Surgery have been selected as having unusual or more difficult tumours because of their type, size, location, or failure of other techniques to produce a cure.
Question: How Long does it take? Answer: It is unpredictable how complicated your surgery will be. Cancers may be present in skin, fat,
muscle and, less frequently, in nerves, arteries, cartilage and bone. In more difficult cases, more time
is required to remove all the cancer. It is not uncommon to stay for the full morning and part of the
afternoon. Some patients will require less time, and some more. You should plan no other activities for
the day.
Question: Will the surgery be painful? Answer: A local anesthetic, usually lidocaine, is injected around the skin cancer to anesthetize the skin. A slight discomfort is experienced initially until the skin becomes numb. Once the numbness has begun, no discomfort is experienced. If additional removal is required, additional anesthetic may be injected to keep the area pain free. After the surgery is completed, most patients experience very little discomfort. Any pain after the procedure can usually be controlled with Tylenol or acetaminophen.
