Dr. Mittelbronn has trained extensively to provide MOHS Micrographic Surgery, an advanced treatment procedure for skin cancer, offering the highest potential for recovery, even if the skin cancer has been previously treated. MOHS is a state-of-the-art procedure in which the physician serves as surgeon, pathologist and reconstructive surgeon. It relies on the accuracy of a microscope to trace and ensure removal of skin cancer down to its roots. This procedure allows dermatologists trained in MOHS Surgery, such as Dr. Mittelbronn, to see beyond the visible disease, and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed.
The cure rate for MOHS Micrographic Surgery is the highest of all treatments for skin cancer, up to 99 % even if other forms of treatment have failed. This procedure, the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, minimizes the chance of re-growth and lessens the potential for scarring and disfigurement.
