    Summary

    Cloud-based Mohs mapping offers an easy, fast, and accurate method for tracking excised skin cancer tissue during Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). This digital approach enhances precision in surgical procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a gold standard for skin cancer treatment.
    • Accurate mapping of excised tissue is crucial for MMS success.
    • Traditional mapping methods have evolved from drawings to digital photography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel cloud-based mapping system for Mohs micrographic surgery.
    • To assess the efficiency and accuracy of digital photographic mapping via cloud storage.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Samsung and LG tablets for capturing tissue maps during MMS procedures.
    • Saved maps to a cloud platform in real-time from operating rooms.
    • Mohs technicians downloaded, processed maps, and re-uploaded for surgeon review.
