Mohs surgery is considered the most effective technique for treating many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), the two most common types of skin cancer. Sometimes called Mohs micrographic surgery, the procedure is done in stages, including lab work, while the patient waits. This allows the removal of all cancerous cells for the highest cure rate while sparing healthy tissue and leaving the smallest possible scar.
Skin cancer surgery can include excision or Mohs surgery.
A cyst is a sac-like pocket containing fluid, keratin and substances. Cysts can get inflamed sometimes leading to infection. Cysts can often be drained or cut out via excision if they become too painful or inflamed.
A deroofing procedure is performed most typically to treat patients with hidradenitis suppurativa who have persistent abscesses or sinus tracts. This procedure includes the surgical removal of the “roof” of a sinus tract or abscess.
