title: Methylene blue stain guiding layered excision in Mohs' micrographic surgery.
abstract: Resection of a continuous layer of tissue by means of Mohs' micrographic surgery is problematic at several periorbital sites. We describe a technique in which methylene blue is used to identify instances of incomplete specimen removal and thus facilitate subsequent complete removal.
