目的本研究的目的是为了更好地描述典型的莫氏实践在美国和产生的数据，可能是有用的，在未来的实践models.METHODS调查邮寄到所有599名成员的美国莫氏外科学院与美国地址列在2003年directory.Results大多数受访者是一个单一的专业组的一部分，在郊区或城市环境中，每年进行501- 1，000例手术，并已实践0-5年。绝大多数莫氏切除术是为了治疗基底细胞癌和鳞状细胞癌，其次是黑色素瘤。一期缝合是最常见的修复方法，其次是皮瓣的使用。只有6%的病例被转介到其他专科关闭。许多外科医生增加他们的实践与非莫氏美容procedures.CONCLUSION目前莫氏手术的做法在美国的特点提供了有用的数据培训计划，潜在的学员，劳动力问题，统计建模系统，莫氏外科医生在自己的做法的评价。
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to better characterize the typical Mohs practice in the United States and to generate data that may be useful in future practice models.METHODS A survey was mailed in 2004 to all 599 members of the American College of Mohs Surgery with United States addresses listed in the 2003 directory.RESULTS Most respondents were part of a single speciality group, in a suburban or urban setting, performed between 501-1,000 cases per year, and had been in practice from 0-5 years. The vast majority of Mohs excisions are for basal cell cancers and squamous cell cancers, followed by melanoma. Primary closure is the most common method of repair, followed by the use of flaps. Only 6% of cases were referred to other specialties for closure. Many surgeons augment their practice with non-Mohs cosmetic procedures.CONCLUSION The characteristics of current Mohs surgery practices in the United States provides useful data for training programs, potential trainees, workforce issues, statistical modeling systems, and Mohs surgeons in the evaluation of their own practices.
