We commend Leonard and colleagues1 for their article that discusses sustainability in Mohs Surgery. Specifically, the authors highlight the use of a hyfrecator or electrodessication device in Mohs surgery over the standard practice of using a full electrosurgical unit. In addition, they also discussed the environmental and economic benefits associated with these sustainability proposals. We aim to expand on the suggestions of Leonard and colleagues1 by providing additional sustainability perspectives, including sterile versus nonsterile gloves, intraoperative resource management, and office supply use.
