AB  - Developed  by  a  meticulous,  pioneering  general  surgeon  and  refined  by  a  host  of  forward-thinking  dermatologists,  Mohs  micrographic  surgery  (MMS)  represents  the  standard  of  care  today  for  treatment  of  many  cutaneous  tumors.  With  cure  rates  unparalleled  by  standard  destructive  and  excisional  surgeries  and  the  innate  ability  to  preserve  healthy  surrounding  tissue,  MMS  should  be  considered  for  large,  aggressive,  or  recurrent  carcinomas  as  well  as  those  in  functionally  or  cosmetically  sensitive  areas.  In  utilizing  the  serial  staged  excisional  process  as  illustrated  subsequently,  the  Mohs  surgeon  is  able  to  immediately  repair  ensuing  wounds  as  necessary.  Due  to  the  safety  and  cost-effective  nature  of  the  procedure,  MMS  appropriately  represents  the  gold  standard  for  treatment  of  many  cutaneous  tumors.
