Preoperative Consultation and Planning

Preoperative consultation and planning for Mohs micrographic surgery involves a detailed discussion between the patient and the surgeon. During this meeting, the surgeon examines the skin cancer, assesses its size and location, and reviews the patient’s medical history. They explain the Mohs technique, which involves removing skin cancer layer by layer while preserving healthy tissue. The surgeon also discusses the expected outcomes, post-surgery care, and any potential risks. This process ensures that the patient understands the procedure and feels comfortable moving forward, allowing for tailored treatment that optimizes results and minimizes complications.
