Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a specialized, highly effective technique for the removal of skin cancer. The procedure was developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederic Mohs at the University of Wisconsin and is now practiced worldwide.
Mohs surgery differs from other skin cancer treatments in that it permits the immediate and complete microscopic examination of the removed cancerous tissue so that all “roots” and extensions of the cancer can be eliminated. Due to the methodical manner in which tissue is removed and examined, Mohs surgery has been recognized as the skin cancer treatment with the highest reported cure rate.
Dr. Darrin A. Rotman M.D. is a Fellow of the American Society for Mohs Surgery and has treated over 9000 skin cancer cases by Mohs Surgery. He and the caring staff at the American Institute of Dermatology, P.A. are trained to meet your surgical needs.
