Surgical Services
Spraying liquid nitrogen (-196º=C, -293º=F, 77.15º=K) onto the skin to destroy the tissue. Commonly used to treat actinic keratoses (pre-cancers), verruca (warts), acrochordons (skin tags), molluscum contagiosum, and seborrheic keratoses (wisdom spots).
Surgically cutting into the skin down to the subcutaneous layer (fat) after local anesthesia, removing the lesion, and then closing the wound with stitches. This surgical procedure is commonly used to remove skin cancers (malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma), cysts, moles, lipomas (fatty deposits), or any other skin growth or lesion.
This advanced surgical technique was initially developed by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs- thus the name. The procedure involves removing a tumor and immediately examining the tissue under the microscope to determine the extent of malignant cells before more tissue is removed, if necessary. While the procedure is time-consuming, it yields a very high cure rate (up to 99%). Because it conserves as much normal tissue as possible, it is known as a tissue sparing technique. Mohs is used for large or aggressive tumors and tumors located in areas of high risk for recurrence.
Electrodesiccation and Curettage (ED&C) is a surgical procedure for the removal of certain cutaneous skin lesions (i.e., superficial basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in-situ, actinic keratosis – precancers, warts, seborrheic keratosis, etc). After local anesthesia, the skin expert uses the curette to scrape away the abnormal cells and or growth down to the normal tissue. Then the hydrecation (desiccation or cauterization) is used to stop the bleeding. This process is repeated twice, if needed, before bandaging.
