Abstract
A well-prepared and smoothly running office and lab are very important to performing successful Mohs micrographic surgery. The medical office of a Mohs surgeon is unique compared to most other medical offices in the sense that throughout the day, patients move frequently between the operating room and the surgical waiting room. While this is occurring, tissue specimens are being carried between the operating room, histopathology laboratory, and the microscope. It is necessary to have a well- equipped operating room, a comfortable waiting area, a laboratory to process the tissue specimens, an area for histopathology slide reading, and a space to clean and sterilize instruments properly. As each area of the office is discussed, equipment pertinent to that area will be addressed.
