Skin Cancer Surgery

Dr. Hodgkinson is consultant plastic surgeon to the Skin & Cancer Foundation and treats simple and complex deformities associated with the resection of facial and body skin malignancy.

The three most common cancers of the skin are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Dr. Hodgkinson works closely with dermato-histo pathologists to assure the most complete excision of the malignancy is achieved at the initial operation to maximize the potential for cure. This method is known as Moh’s Surgery.

A vast variety of reconstructive options exist and Dr. Hodgkinson tries to avoid the use of skin grafts at all costs due to their unattractive appearance.

Dr. Hodgkinson has published widely on skin cancer and has a dedicated web site www.skincanceroz.com which shows numerous examples of skin cancer reconstruction.

To make an appointment, please call the clinic on 02 9362 7400 and alert them to the fact that you are a skin cancer patient so that we can assure that you receive timely treatment.
