Surgical removal of moles is a simple process but can also be a scary process depending on the outcome if the mole is cancerous. There isn't much a medical assistant can help when it comes to the procedure, except assist the doctor with all of his or her needs and talk to the patient about wound care and call to check on how it's going. Although mole removal is a simple procedure, every surgery carries risks and should be taken into deep consideration because you never know what the outcome will be.
