Minor surgery consists of simple surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia in the clinic without needing an operating room or general anesthesia. The patient returns home the same day, usually within an hour.
Common Procedure Types:
- Lump and cyst removal: Lipomas, ganglion cysts, epidermoid cysts.
- Mole removal: Suspicious or cosmetically bothersome moles — sent for histopathology.
- Nail procedures: Recurrent ingrown toenail — partial or total removal with matrix destruction.
- Wound debridement: Contaminated or necrotic wounds needing cleaning under anesthesia.
- Wound suturing: Fresh wounds needing cosmetic closure.
- Abscess drainage: Incision, irrigation, and drainage.
- Skin biopsy: Taking a sample from a skin lesion for diagnosis.
Advantages:
Quick, safe, lower cost, no general anesthesia, rapid return to normal life.
