Response to Dr. Korc’s Letter on Mohs Surgery

In a letter to the editor dated May 1, 1999, Dr. John A. Zitelli addressed Dr. Korc's concerns about Mohs surgery, underscoring the necessity for precise terminology when describing the procedure to patients, Health Care Organizations, and referring physicians. He asserted that the term "Mohs surgery" should only be used when a single physician performs both the surgical and pathological aspects of the procedure, and not when these roles are split between different individuals. The document also contained discussions on various dermatological topics, including the stability of water temperature during ultrasonic liposuction, the behavior of linear basal cell carcinomas, a new storage medium for hair grafts, laser treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae, the role of pretreatment in laser resurfacing, and the elimination of fibers post-CO₂ laser resurfacing, as well as the ethical considerations in medical marketing.
