Skin Cancer Surgery

Surgical treatment options for skin cancer lesions

We perform surgical excision (the technique of cutting out the lesion along with a small amount of the surrounding healthy skin), electrodessication and curettage (the method of burning the lesion with electrical currents and scraping it away with a curette), and cryosurgery (the application of liquid nitrogen to destroy the cancerous lesion) for the treatment of superficial, early stage skin cancer. The recommended surgical method will be determined based on the size and number of lesions, whether the lesions are recurring or not, the depth and location of the lesions, and any preexisting medical conditions you may have.
