It's not there was actually a doctor named doctor Fredric most have since passed away and it's named after him who invented the technique of above most surgery which is basically it's a process where the surgeon axe not only as a surgeon was also at the as the pathologist and the reconstructive surgeon a standard tissue processing when something is cut outs and sent to the lab requires vertical processing of the tissue which in essence samples less than one percent of the specimen depending on the size that a specimen but most surgery that issue is process and a horizontal fashion so you're getting the entire peripheral and deep margin of the have the tissue honest microscope slide and the surgeon then read said and that issue is mapped so you know exactly where the roots are and you know exactly where to go back to so it takes the guesswork out of essentially curing skin cancer wow that's pretty amazing I was so basically you think about it is not at S&S and so it turns that that multi-step possibly multi-step process into a one stop shop yep great.
I think we've got some images there at now is this one of your patients this was this was one of my patients and if the image comes up you'll see there's a small pink area on the forehead that was a basal cell skin cancer or amend it uses going to Pinkest Spores shine and basal cells often have routes that extend underneath the skin that unless you using the microscope you would miss so the next image is the area after the cancer has been removed after in this case it was three stages have more surgery the blue line when you say three stages you took some you went to the microscope night which we haven't got to love it yet and then the next stage I gave me repeats you going deeper and wider yet whatever yes if it's if it's some if the cancers at them at the superficial edgy go wider if it's in the sentry go deeper so you're seeing the pictures of the area close then this final picture is the patient for months after surgery showing.
that just because you have skin cancer doesn't mean you'll be disfigured you could [ aktive am ] look normal and I always tell patients the goal is that in about three or four months someone seeing you had a conversation on the sense should have a hard time telling anything was done while that is very encouraging because having scan.
