Cancer can be a scary word, but for people diagnosed with skin cancer, Mohs surgery at Restoration Dermatology may be the answer. Mohs surgery is a process that carefully and meticulously removes cancerous skin cells. The goal of the method is to take as little of your unaffected skin tissue as we can while still delivering an optimal success rate for skin cancer treatment. The surgical technique is used to remove squamous and basal cell carcinomas and melanomas, along with a few other, lesser-known kinds of tumors. Our team is extensively trained in the Mohs approach. We begin the procedure by thoroughly removing the malignant tissue one layer at a time. After each layer, Dr. Vineet Mishra will inspect the cell makeup of the skin to find out whether cancer is still present. Call our Nashville, TN location today to set up your Mohs procedure.
Surgical Technique
In this process, a member of our staff will typically utilize local anesthetics to numb the affected region before incisions are made for removal. The incisions may be compared to a map (similar to a clock face) and are designed to correspond with the orientation of the skin that has been removed. The excised layer is suspended, processed, and then examined under the microscope. When additional cancer roots are detected, they're marked with the corresponding map and the process is repeated. The method continues until a fresh layer with no remaining cancer is achieved. The amount of layers removed is dependent on the stage of the cancer and how long it was present. The conclusion of the process will render a wound. Healing solutions vary, from easy sutures to close the wound to more complicated cosmetic (plastic) operations for larger wounds.
Restoration Dermatology Reviews
I saw Dr Mishra. For my Mohs procedure. He explained the procedure and him and his assistant made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I didn’t feel a thing and felt very confident in his hands. I will recommend him and appreciated his kind, caring manner.
Dr. Mishra is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is personable and doesn’t make you feel rushed. He successfully did Mohs surgery on the back of my hand. I highly recommend Dr. Mishra.
I was referred to Dr. Mishra by my former dermatologist when I moved to Murfreesboro from Texas in 2022. I have an inherited, chronic skin condition that makes me prone to squamous cell carcinoma. I made an appointment with Dr. Mishra for a skin exam. He listened to all my concerns without rushing, and then thoroughly checked my skin, taking 3 biopsies, 2 of which were positive for SCC. He really impressed me by calling me personally with my results, and 2 days later, he did Mohs surgery to remove the 2 new cancers. He's very kind and personable. His staff is the same way. If you have a skin concern, you won't go wrong by scheduling with Dr. Mishra!
As always, had a wonderful experience at Restoration Dermatology clinic in Green Hills! Dr.Vineet Mishra, and his staff, Kacey, Jessica, and Lacey are always knowledgeable and efficient at what they do! If you need a dermatologist for all your skin care needs, Dr. Mishra is the best! In early January I had MOHS surgery on my face by Dr. Mishra and the scar is barely visible! I continue to see him for all my skin issues!
Excellent service and outcome - Dr. Mishra and his surgical team did an excellent job taking care of me. They kept me comfortable and informed throughout the Mohs procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Mishra for all your dermatological surgery.
