More and more patients are becoming sensitized to skin cancers, which are currently the most common form of this disease.
In addition to providing advice as to how to prevent skin cancer, the dermatologist must also explain to the patient what treatment options are available once the ailment is present.
One of the most precise techniques available for removing a skin tumour is Mohs Surgery. |

Mohs Surgery
This technique seeks to totally extirpate the tumour whilst preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, thus minimising any possible recurrence and leaving the skin looking as good as possible. The technique consists of removing the tumour, freezing it using cryostat, dyeing it and studying its size under a microscope, then immediately closing the wound.
Indications:
· Tumours that have returned after previous treatments.
· In areas in which it is essential to preserve the skin.
· In morpheiform and infiltrating basal cell carcinomas.
· In tumours measuring more than 2 centimetres.
· In patients with immune suppression.
· In dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
The Dr. I. Umbert Dermatological Institute in the Clinica Corachán is different from other centres offering this technique because it offers a multidisciplinary team specialised in this technique comprising a Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon and Anatomical Pathologist who work together to provide a high degree of patient satisfaction by searching for the best aesthetic result possible in the event of relapse.
