Dermatologist in Boynton, FL Treats Common Types of Skin Cancer With Mohs Surgery

    BOYNTON BEACH, FL, March 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Drs. Barry Kuttner and Kathleen Herne are leading dermatologists in Boynton, offering advanced treatment and care for a wide range of skin conditions. One new procedure offered by this experienced team, Mohs Micrographic Surgery, is proving to be a highly effective skin cancer treatment in Boynton. Dr. Kathleen Herne is a fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery, and performs this procedure in the West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach offices of Integrated Dermatology.

Mohs surgery in Boynton is performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Herne, Boynton, FL dermatologist, will remove the visible tumor, and the specimen will be prepared for her to examine under the microscope. While reviewing the specimen with the microscope, if cancerous cells are found, Dr. Herne will map the location of the cells out on paper and repeat the procedure until no cancerous cells are found. Once the area is cancer-free, the area is closed with stitches. Dr. Herne's specialized training allows her to be able to close very large defects with minimal scarring. In severe cases, she can perform skin grafts and tissue flaps to ensure optimal cosmetic results, as is done during plastic surgery.

"Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the most effective and advanced treatment available for skin cancer today. It offers a high potential for cure, treating common cancers through a highly specialized and precise technique that removes the cancer in stages. We are pleased to offer this advanced new treatment for our patients in Boynton," said Dr. Herne, general and pediatric dermatologist in Boynton.
