While we're on the subject: can somebody bring us up to date on how the
certification of Mohs techs is progressing? Is there now a formal certification? Is
there a Web site about it?
Mohs surgery - microsurgical excision of basal cell carcinomas with
meticulous frozen section control - is wonderful - my sister had a very successful
procedure on an eyelid - is wonderful as long as the surgeon and his assistants
prepare and read their own frozen sections.
If a pathologist has to do it - two hours tied up with no warning, no idea
what the surgeon wants, no communication with the surgeon, wholly inadequate
frozen section setup - then Mohs is the worst four letter word a pathologist
knows. And I've been through this in a lot of different labs.
