Pediatric Skin Cancer Surgery

Pediatric skin cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tumors from children's skin. This type of surgery aims to completely excise the cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Doctors use methods like excisional surgery, where they cut out the tumor and some surrounding skin, or Mohs surgery, which removes skin layer by layer to ensure all the cancer is gone. The procedure is typically done under anesthesia to keep the child comfortable. Post-surgery, proper care and follow-up are essential to monitor recovery and check for any signs of cancer returning. Early detection and treatment improve outcomes significantly.
