MOHS Surgery

What is Moh’s Micrographic Surgery?

Moh’s Micrographic Surgery is a specialized surgical approach to remove select skin cancers. It is currently used for treating basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. It is performed under local anesthesia by a surgeon trained in this technique. The procedure involves mapping out the surgery site and successively removing the involved skin. As the tissue is removed, it is also looked at microscopically. In this manner, the minimum amount of normal skin is removed. The surgery is excellent for recurrent tumors, tumors in anatomically difficult areas (ie. ear, nose, lips), poorly defined tumors, or other cosmetic sensitive areas on the face. At the present time, our Moh’s surgery is performed by Dr. Jack Sebben at the Elk Grove facility.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
