Abstract: |
Office-based surgery is the standard for Mohs micrographic surgery. The design and building of a Mohs micrographic surgery suite should provide an environment for comfortable and efficient care of the patient, while meeting regulatory safety standards and the ergonomic needs of the staff. This chapter will discuss physical components of a Mohs surgery suite and operative room. Key operative room equipment will be detailed and lists of essential instruments used during Mohs surgery and reconstruction are outlined in this chapter. Finally, practice details such as photography, equipment sterilization and emergency equipment are summarized. © 2012 Springer-Verlag London Limited. |
