Mohs surgery results in a surgical wound the size of which reflects the true size of the skin cancer. Mohs surgeons have extensive training in wound reconstruction and plastic surgery and in most cases the Mohs surgeon will perform the wound repair. There are generally 3 ways to repair a wound: Natural healing – Allowing the wound to heal naturally without additional surgery. This is normally only possible in certain sites. Stitches – Closing the wound directly with stitches Skin graft/skin flap – Using a skin graft or skin flap to repair the wound. Some patients will need to transfer to other hospitals for their repair by eye surgeons, ENT surgeons or plastic surgeons. If this applies to you, we will discuss this with you in the clinic in advance. Unless you are being transferred to another hospital you will normally be able to go home the same day.
