That's why we offer Mohs micrographic surgery, the most advanced and effective skin cancer treatment in Omaha. Led by our highly skilled team, we pride ourselves on providing an exceptional standard of care in a welcoming and supportive environment.

WHAT IS MOHS SURGERY?

Mohs surgery is a specialized, precise surgical technique used as skin cancer treatment for our Omaha patients. During the procedure, thin layers of skin are progressively removed and examined under a microscope until only cancer-free tissue remains. Key benefits of Mohs surgery include:

  • High Cure Rates: Mohs surgery boasts the highest cure rates for many skin cancers, often reaching 99%.
  • Healthy Tissue Preservation: The precision of Mohs allows for the maximum preservation of healthy skin, which is of crucial importance in cosmetically sensitive areas.
  • Same-Day Procedure: In most cases, Mohs surgery can be completed in a single outpatient visit.

WHAT SKIN ISSUES CAN MOHS SURGERY TREAT?

Mohs surgery from our Omaha medical dermatology team is an excellent treatment option for the following types of skin cancer:

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma: The most common form of skin cancer.
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The second most common form of skin cancer.
  • Other less common skin cancers: These include melanoma in specific situations.

Our Mohs surgery is for Omaha residents that have:

  • Recurrent skin cancers: Those that have reappeared after previous treatments.
  • Skin cancers in sensitive areas: Face, eyelids, nose, lips, ears, hands, or feet.
  • Large or aggressive tumors: For maximum removal with precise margins.
