The Sutton Skin Cancer Center is the premier destination for Mohs surgery and skin cancer treatment for patients in Lincoln, Grand Island, Omaha, and beyond. Sutton Skin Cancer Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, offers the most advanced surgical care led by our two board-certified dermatologists and board-certified, fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons, Dr. Leigh Sutton and Dr. Elizabeth Sutton. Both are among the few fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons in the region.

What Is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold-standard surgical technique for removing most skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). During Mohs surgery, our surgeons carefully remove cancerous lesions in stages, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Mohs micrographic surgery requires meticulous precision. Our surgeons examine skin cancer tumor margins under the microscope at each step, ensuring no cancerous cells are left behind. We repeat these steps as necessary until every trace of cancer is completely removed, offering you the utmost confidence in your skin cancer treatment journey. Lastly, we close the wounds using advanced techniques (linear closures, flaps, and grafts) to minimize scarring. Most often this is all completed in one day.

Mohs surgery provides many benefits as it:

  • Offers the highest cure rate for skin cancer removal (cure rate is 96 to 98%)
  • Spares healthy tissue
  • Minimizes scarring
  • Can be performed during a single visit using local anesthesia
  • Is performed in an outpatient clinic setting, which minimizes patient costs

Fellowship-Trained Surgeons With Experience

After receiving a skin cancer diagnosis, you want to make sure you are in the best possible hands for surgical treatment. It is important to select a surgeon with extensive surgical training and experience, as well as someone you can trust. It is important that your surgeon has completed a Mohs surgery fellowship, which is an additional year of training dedicated to skin cancer surgery.

We offer the expertise of two fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgery experts, Dr. Leigh Sutton and Dr. Elizabeth Sutton. They lead a phenomenal surgical team with years of experience. The Sutton Skin Cancer Center has completed thousands of Mohs surgery cases and cured thousands of skin cancers.

At Sutton Skin Cancer Center, our number one priority is the outcome and experience of each patient. We are proud to offer a warm and welcoming environment where you receive gold-standard surgical care.

The Mohs team—which is led by the Mohs surgeons and includes our Mohs Team Lead, nurses, surgical techs, and histologists—works together cohesively for your benefit. Our Mohs team members are some of our longest-working team members at Sutton Dermatology, which speaks to the cohesiveness of the team and passion for carrying out the mission of the Skin Cancer Center and Sutton Dermatology.

During the surgical day, each step is clearly communicated. As an active and informed participant in your care, you can approach your Mohs surgery with confidence.

Exceptional Comfort & Convenience

Your comfort is paramount, and we offer extra amenities such as our separate Mohs surgery lounge with refreshments on hand. Patients and family members are encouraged to use this tranquil area during the surgical day. We also offer the convenience of having your surgical excision, tissue evaluation, and wound closure on the same day without multiple visits (unless specified before your procedure). Our Mohs surgeries are performed in the clinic, with convenient and free parking and short walks to and around the facility. This avoids hospital and surgery center fees, which saves you money.
