Summary
A survey of Mohs surgeons reveals practice modifications that improve the efficacy and efficiency of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). These enhancements aim to optimize patient outcomes and surgical workflows in cutaneous oncology.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Surgical Oncology
- Cutaneous Surgery
Background:
- Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialized technique for skin cancer removal.
- Continuous improvement in surgical techniques is essential for optimal patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To survey members of the American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology.
- To identify and discuss modifications to the standard MMS procedure.
Main Methods:
- A survey was distributed to members of the American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology.
- Responses regarding daily practice and procedural modifications were collected and analyzed.
Main Results:
- The survey identified numerous modifications to the original MMS technique.
- These modifications enhance the efficacy and efficiency of the surgical procedure.
Conclusions:
- Evolved modifications significantly improve Mohs micrographic surgery.
- Ongoing innovation in MMS practice benefits dermatologic surgery and patient outcomes.
