Infection control practices in Mohs micrographic surgery: a U.K. national survey

Abstract

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is generally considered a safe and effective method of treating certain types of skin cancers, with low reported rates of surgical site infections.^1,2 Practices relating to infection control vary considerably amongst surgeons. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests clean surgical techniques do not increase infection rates compared to sterile surgical techniques. We sought to establish the current infection control practices amongst surgeons practising MMS in the U.K.
