Mohs' micrographic surgery is a specialized surgical technique that involves removing the affected area layer by layer in order to ensure complete removal of the cancer cells. This procedure is typically reserved for more advanced cases of skin cancer, such as melanoma. Curettage and electrodesiccation/electrocoagulation are typically used for more superficial lesions, while cryosurgery involves freezing the affected area and is not typically used for mole removal.
