What Is Reconstruction of a Mohs Surgery Defect?
Mohs surgery is a specialized procedure designed to remove skin cancer layer by layer, ensuring complete cancer removal while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin. It is particularly effective for treating basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), especially in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face, ears, and neck. After having a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in Mohs Surgery remove the cancerous cells and appropriate surrounding tissue, there is an open wound that is left if it is unable to be closed primarily by your Mohs surgeon. During Reconstruction of a Mohs Surgery Defect,Dr. Chase Derrick will then conduct a thorough history and evaluation, discuss the reconstructive options with you to choose the best method of reconstruction, then perform the reconstructive surgery to repair and restore the look and function of the skin in that cancerous area that was removed.
Reconstruction of a Mohs Surgery Defectcan be done using either local anesthesia (numbing medication) with or without sedation, or general anesthesia (where you are put to sleep). During Reconstruction of a Mohs Surgery Defect , Dr. Chase Derrick can perform a skin graft, local or regional tissue transfer, or utilize a variety of skin-substitute materials to get you the best functional and cosmetic outcome. During a skin graft, Dr. Derrick removes a piece of skin from a different area of the body and then surgically adheres it to the top of the Mohs Surgery defect or open wound. As healing begins, the flap discovers its own blood supply and adheres to the surrounding skin. The goal is for the skin graft to look and feel like normal skin to cover the skin that was removed due to skin cancer.
