Postoperative Repair

Postoperative repair in Mohs micrographic surgery refers to the process of closing the wound after skin cancer has been removed. During this technique, the surgeon excises the cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin. Once the tumor is confirmed to be entirely removed, the surgeon then repairs the resulting wound, which can involve stitches, skin grafts, or other methods. The goal is to achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing result while ensuring proper healing. This step is crucial for minimizing scarring and improving the area’s appearance after the surgery is complete.
