Institutional Adherence to Current Mohs Surgery Appropriate Use Criteria With Reasons for Nonadherence and Recommendations for Future Versions.

Background: The appropriate use criteria (AUC) were established to optimize the use of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and confer the highest possible clinical benefit to the patient.

Objective: We documented our adherence to AUC and review reasons for nonadherence regarding lesions classified as inappropriate, in the hopes of informing future versions of the AUC.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 1,000 consecutive patients who underwent MMS at a single institution.
