Popis: | OBJECTIVE To determine the number of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) stages per tumor taken by early- to mid-career Mohs surgeons and to assess other factors affecting number of stages. METHODS Statistical analysis of MMS logs of 20 representative early- to mid-career surgeons. RESULTS There was no difference in stages when surgeons were divided into two categories based on whether they had more than 500 cases per year or more than 5 years of experience. Similarly, when surgeons were categorized according to geographic location, there was no difference in number of stages. Anatomic location was associated with the number of stages (analysis of variance, p |
