title: Mohs' micrographic surgery: an overview.
abstract: Microscopic control of surgical margins has made Mohs' micrographic surgery an increasingly appealing option for patients with large, recurrent, or difficult-to-treat basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas who require precise and effective surgical management. Understanding the pre-, peri-, and postoperative considerations in Mohs' surgery will help dermatology nurses better prepare and educate patients who undergo this procedure.
