Mohs micrographic surgery.
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialized type of minimal marginal surgery that offers cure rates superior to other options in the treatment of contiguous skin cancers in selected settings. Developed by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, the technique originally required in situ tissue fixation before excision. Most Mohs micrographic surgeons now use the fresh tissue technique exclusively. Horizontal...
متن کاملMohs micrographic surgery: a technique for total margin assessment in veterinary cutaneous oncologic surgery.
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the gold standard for the excision of locally invasive cutaneous malignancies in human dermatological surgery. Using a unique horizontal sectioning technique, MMS enables 100% surgical margin assessment and provides the lowest recurrence rates for locally invasive tumours. The purposes of this preliminary study were to explore the feasibility of application of...
متن کاملMohs micrographic surgery for deeply penetrating, expanding benign cutaneous neoplasms.
The indications for MMS include malignant tumors with poorly defined borders, histology, tumor size, level of invasion, anatomic location, reduced patient immunity, and recurrence after previous treatment. MMS is indicated for locally aggressive tumors that are difficult to eradicate by routine measures and recurrent tumors following conventional surgical excision. MMS has been used successfull...
متن کاملCost analysis: Mohs micrographic surgery.
BACKGROUND With the continuing increase in the incidence of skin cancer, delivery of cost-efficient skin cancer treatment is a top priority. OBJECTIVE To compare costs associated with removal of skin cancers using Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) with that using standard surgical excision (SSE) with frozen or permanent margin control in the office or an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). METHO...
متن کامل[Mohs micrographic surgery: aplication of this technique to penile neoplasms].
Mohs micrographic surgery is a surgical technique that allows the excision in successive layers of cutaneous malignancies with the higher cure rates. At the same time, this surgical technique offers the maximal preservation of normal tissue. That is possible because Mohs surgery provides the advantage of microscopically controlled tumor-free borders in each stage guiding the surgeon in the tumo...
