Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and surgical oncology.
  • Plastic and reconstructive surgery.
  • Cutaneous oncology.

Background:

  • Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is the established gold-standard for excising various cutaneous lesions.
  • Effective skin cancer services require specialized surgical techniques.
  • Establishing a dedicated Mohs surgery center presents unique logistical and clinical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the processes involved in establishing a new Mohs Micrographic Surgery service.
  • To highlight the unique aspects of the Mersey Regional Centre for Mohs Surgery, the first in the UK led by a Mohs-trained Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon.
  • To serve as a guide for developing similar specialized dermatologic surgery services.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of the establishment process for a new Mohs Micrographic Surgery service.
  • Description of the multidisciplinary team approach and resource allocation.
  • Outline of the training and accreditation requirements for surgical and technical staff.

Main Results:

  • Successful establishment of the Mersey Regional Centre for Mohs Surgery.
  • Integration of MMS into the regional skin cancer service pathway.
  • Demonstration of a collaborative model for specialized surgical care.

Conclusions:

  • The establishment of a dedicated Mohs Micrographic Surgery service is feasible and beneficial for regional skin cancer management.
  • A multidisciplinary, surgeon-led approach is crucial for the successful implementation of advanced surgical techniques.
  • This model provides a valuable addition to the UK's skin cancer treatment infrastructure.
