Description

This book delivers a structured and practical guide to Mohs surgery and facial reconstruction from two respected experts in skin cancer treatment. With more than 5.4 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnosed each year in the United States, the need for effective, precise, and reliable treatment continues to grow. Mohs surgery remains the technique with the highest cure rate and the lowest recurrence rate, and it is now used more often for melanoma as well.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery: From Layers to Reconstruction offers a clear and systematic roadmap to learning both the surgical method and the reconstructive approaches that follow it. The early chapters introduce core principles such as progressive layer excision, assessment of cancer-free margins, common pitfalls, management of recurrences, considerations for high-risk locations, and foundational reconstructive concepts.

The following chapters are organized by facial region, covering the nose, lips, cheeks, forehead, scalp, and the eyelid and eyebrow area. Additional chapters focus on combination reconstructions that span multiple subunits, as well as perioperative management and wound care.

Key features include:
• Insights and techniques shared by a distinguished group of Mohs and reconstruction specialists
• Clear explanations of the anatomical considerations that influence excision and reconstruction, including tissue planes, tension lines, and important danger zones
• High-quality photos and illustrations that support step-by-step learning

This resource is ideal for residents, fellows, and surgeons in dermatology, plastic surgery, and facial plastic surgery who want a practical and detailed guide to achieving strong functional and aesthetic outcomes in Mohs reconstruction.
