Superficial Removal of a Squamous Cell Cancer on the Temple

This procedure essentially serves as a detailed biopsy. This did turn out to be a squamous cell cancer and the patient had to have a more extensive procedure done after this. I do apologize for the interference with the sound that using the hyfrecator creates. I appreciate that it sounds awful and is quite annoying. I really wanted viewers to appreciate how abnormal tissue responds differently to cautery. It should have been appreciated that as we cleared some of the atypical tissue, that the cautery was working much better. Thanks again for your comments.
