Surgical mole removal is a simple process but can also be a scary process depending on the outcome if the mole is cancerous. A medical assistant doesn't have much to do when it comes to the procedure other than help the doctor with any needs, talk to the patient about wound care, and call to check on how they're doing. Although mole removal is a simple procedure, every surgical procedure carries risks and must be thoroughly considered because you never know what the outcome will be.
