Dermatologic Surgery, 1999
I would like to begin this article by trying to determine what exactly it is that sets Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) apart from any other surgical procedure carried out for the expressed purpose of removing a neoplasm, whether primary or recurrent at the local site. Because most practitioners of MMS now admit freely that the distinctiveness of MMS is

The Laryngoscope, 1989
Mohs micrographic surgery is a procedure used to treat recurrent or difficult skin cancers by the sequential removal of thin, saucerized layers of tissue. These excised layers are sectioned on a microtome and examined microscopically, and maps are prepared to delineate areas of residual tumor as well as normal, uninvolved tissue.

Mohs micrographic surgery pearls
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2004Mohs micrographic surgery has evolved over the last 60 years from fixed-tissue chemosurgery with secondary intention healing to fresh-tissue surgical excision utilizing advanced histotechnology and reconstructive techniques. This evolution has occurred while preserving the fundamental characteristics of Mohs surgery: microscopically controlled tumor ...

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) provides the highest cure rate for skin cancer while maximally sparing surrounding healthy tissue. False negatives and false positives are avoided by histologic studies of 100 % of the tumour margins and by sophisticated processing of horizontal sections during surgery, respectively.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery for Melanoma
Dermatologic Clinics, 1989The results of multiple investigators have confirmed the value of Mohs surgery in the treatment of melanoma. In addition, these studies have contributed to our understanding of the biologic behavior of melanoma. The success of Mohs surgery confirms that melanoma grows in a contiguous fashion before it spreads systemically.

Cutaneous Micrographic Surgery: Mohs Procedure
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1992Skin cancer is an increasingly serious public health issue that affects a high percentage of the population. Surgical resection is still standard treatment for skin cancer, but for difficult cases, cutaneous micrographic surgery, originally described by Mohs, is our preferred technique because of the routine methodic accuracy for evaluation of the ...

American family physician, 2005
Mohs micrographic surgery is an approach to skin cancer removal that aims to achieve the highest possible rates of cure and to minimize the size of the wound and consequent distortions at critical sites such as the eyes, ears, nose, and lips. Mohs micrographic surgery is a two-step, same-day procedure performed with local anesthetic.
