Wound Dressing Techniques in Mohs Surgery

Wound dressing techniques in Mohs surgery focus on safely caring for the surgical site after removing skin cancer. After the tumor is excised, doctors often use various dressings to protect and promote healing. These may include simple bandages, specialized hydrocolloid materials that keep moisture in, or gauze for absorption. Dressings help prevent infection, maintain a moist environment that encourages healing, and shield the area from friction or movement. Proper dressing promotes comfort and aids in the formation of healthy skin as it heals, ensuring the best possible cosmetic outcome.
