  schema:description "Scraping a small, low-risk skin cancer away with a spoon-shaped blade under local anaesthetic and then sealing the surface with heat, usually repeated two or three times in the same sitting. It leaves no stitches and a round pale scar, and unlike an excision it produces no edges a pathologist can check."@en ;
