Mohs micrographic surgery for periorbital skin cancer.
The authors have illustrated the use of the Mohs technique on periorbital skin cancer. The indications for the technique are documented for eyelid and canthal neoplasia, and the case histories illustrate the potential danger of skin cancer in this area. It is the well balanced team of micrographic surgeons and reconstructive surgeons that will give the patient the best result.
