Microvascular reconstruction is an advance form of reconstructive surgery whereby tissue with arteries and veins from your arm, leg, chest or back are harvested and utilized to reconstruct your face, scalp, throat or mouth. The microvascular portion involves suturing these small vessels (2-3mm wide) to arteries and veins in the neck to re-establish a blood supply to the tissue. This is a technically demanding procedure that requires the use of a microscope and suture that is finer than human hair. This procedure has been shown to improve outcomes in terms of maintaining the function of the head and neck and better aesthetic outcomes for patients with traumatic and congenital defects or require surgery for head and neck cancer.

Mohs surgery removes less healthy tissue than excisional skin surgery. The Mohs surgeon cleans and numbs the area of skin to be operated on. Then he or she removes the visible portion of the tumor and a very small margin of healthy skin. The Mohs surgeon examines the tissue under a microscope for cancer cells. If part of the tumor is still present, the Mohs surgeon carefully maps out the area where the tumor remains and only removes additional skin in the area where the margin shows the tumor. The process is repeated until the tumor is completely removed. This type of surgery is typically reserved for melanomas on the face where it is beneficial to conserve as much healthy skin as possible during surgery.
