AB Few  medical  procedures  have  the  mystique  that  surrounds  Mohs  micrographic  surgery  (MMS).  While  most  physicians  whose  work  involves  treating  skin  cancer  understand  it  in  principle,  many  are  less  aware  of  what  is  wholly  involved  or  how  it  is  performed.  Some  patients  may  have  also  heard  of  it  and,  after  conducting  a  little  research,  concluded  that  it  is  what  they  want  for  their  skin  cancer  as  the  term  is  practically  synonymous  with  the  highest  chance  of  cure.  They  can  view  MMS  as  a  silver  bullet,  a  mysterious  yet  infallible  solution  to  their  condition;  one  minor  procedure  and,  like  magic,  their  lesion  will  be  fixed.  While  there  is  a  reason  for  this  optimism,  the  physician  must  rely  on  deeper  knowledge  and  careful  judgment.
