Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Skin cancer is a very common cancer. If you have skin cancer, MaineGeneral Mohs Surgery has the latest technology available to help you.

MaineGeneral Medical Center and MaineGeneral Mohs Surgery in Augusta offer Mohs micrographic surgery, a precise surgical technique in which the skin cancer is progressively removed in stages under local anesthesia, in the outpatient setting, until all the cancer has been removed.

After each stage, the margins are microscopically examined for remaining cancer cells and this process is repeated until all your cancer has been removed.

Mohs surgery is the most advanced, precise, and effective treatment for skin cancer. It has the highest cure rates and preserves healthy tissue. We are committed to the highest standard of care.
