How Mohs Surgery Works
The treatment involves removing the visible cancer and a thin layer of surrounding skin from underneath. Each layer of skin is then examined under a microscope to ensure that no cancer cells are remaining. If cancer is still present, additional layers are removed and examined until all cancer cells are gone.


Precision That Preserves Healthy Skin
This precise procedure minimises the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed around the cancer. As a result, Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma often leads to less scarring and disfigurement than traditional surgery. It is particularly suited for visible areas such as the face, where both appearance and function are important.
Same-Day Skin Cancer Removal
Mohs skin cancer surgery in Sussex is usually completed in a day. Once malignant tissue is removed there is no need for further surgery.
Success Rates and Benefits
The cure rate for primary, untreated cancers is around 99%, with slightly lower rates for recurrent cancers. These results are better than any other skin cancer removal method. For many patients, Mohs surgery offers the best balance of cure, safety and cosmetic outcome.
