Margin Control Surgery of the Skin: Concepts, Histopathology, and Applications

This first-of-its-kind multidisciplinary approach to margin control cutaneous surgery highlights practical concepts and provides copious illustrations, photos, and videos paired with text

Outlining basic techniques for safe, effective surgery, Margin Control Surgery of the Skin explains how to handle common complications, as well as more advanced cancers not usually dealt with by Mohs surgeons. The combination of illustrations, photographs, and concise text make complex topics easy to understand, and concepts are outlined in both traditional chapter format and case-based format so that practitioners will be engaged in a more practical context. Traditional chapters cover all technical aspects of the procedure and how these techniques are applied to the treatment of cutaneous malignancies.
