• “Description of patients excluded for Mohs surgery after pre-surgical evaluation: data from the Regesmohs Spanish registry”
Ruiz-Salas V, Garcés JR, Alonso-Alonso T, Rodríguez-Prieto MA, Toll-Abelló A, Eusebio Murillo E, et al. Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2018 May;109(4):346-350
The Spanish registry of Mohs surgery (REGESMOHS) began in July 2013, where 24 hospitals participated, and in which Sant Pau Hospital and the Teknon Medical Center played an active role. Their main objective is to describe the Mohs surgery in Spain and the factors that influence its results.
In this second article related to the Spanish registry of Mohs surgery, the objective was describe the reasons why Mohs surgery was rejected in some patients at the time of the pre surgical evaluation.
It was observed that the presence of important diseases (or comorbidities) and the deterioration of the patient health status were the main reasons for contraindicating this type of surgery.
