Digital photography offers a faster, more accurate, and cost-effective method for mapping tissue during Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). This technique improves the correlation of surgical maps to patient anatomy for precise excision.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Illustration

Background:

  • Traditional methods for mapping tissue in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) utilize instant photographic prints.
  • Limitations include print size constraints, difficulty writing on glossy surfaces, and high film costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe the application of digital photographic images as templates for MMS tissue mapping.
  • To present an improved workflow for creating accurate surgical maps.

Main Methods:

  • Digital photographs of excised tissue from MMS procedures are captured.
  • Images are downloaded to a computer and printed on standard paper.
  • Surgical maps are drawn directly onto these digital prints.

Main Results:

  • The study outlines various methods for generating MMS maps utilizing digital photographic prints.
  • Demonstrates the feasibility and adaptability of the digital approach.

Conclusions:

  • Digital photography significantly enhances the MMS mapping process.
  • Key advantages include increased speed, reduced material costs, improved accuracy in depicting excision defects, and simplified correlation of maps to patients for subsequent surgical stages.
