Surgeons at Scripps Health prioritize methods that remove undesired tissue while leaving nearby healthy tissue as undisturbed as possible. Mohs surgery is a very precise surgical method used to remove cancerous skin tissue, while optimizing cosmetic appearance after the surgery. This procedure is often used for delicate regions of the face, which patients hope will look as close to normal as possible after surgery. Mohs surgeons often work closely with cosmetic surgeons to achieve the best possible post-operative results.

Scripps surgeons have been refining the Mohs method for a number of years. They have a lot of experience with the surgery itself, as well as with effective restorative and recovery methods for patients. Our high patient success rates attest to the efficacy of this treatment for skin cancer.
