Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the EADV Podcast, host Dr. Sweta Rai sits down with Prof. Severin Läuchli, Head of the European Society of Mohs Surgery and a pioneer in dermatologic surgery in Switzerland. Their conversation explores the evolution of Mohs surgery in Europe and the growing need for structured training pathways.
Prof. Läuchli shares his own training journey, from early days using paraffin-section micrographic surgery to implementing frozen-section Mohs surgery in Zurich and highlights the importance of cross-specialty collaboration in overcoming institutional resistance. He also explains current standards for Mohs certification, the role of the EADV and ESMS in supporting fellowships, and his vision for improving access to care and education across Europe.
The episode concludes with a forward-looking discussion on the potential of imaging technologies, AI, and the need to establish Mohs surgery as the standard of care for complex epithelial tumors throughout Europe.
