Minor surgery: an effective treatment

Minor surgery refers to a category of surgical procedures that are generally simple, short-term, and do not require prolonged hospitalization. These operations are often performed under local or regional anesthesia, and patients can return home the same day of the procedure. It therefore refers to the treatment of small wounds as well as other minor health problems such as cysts, lipomas, moles, ingrown toenails, abscess drainage, cortisone injections , and many others.

Minor surgeries are often minimally invasive, meaning they involve small incisions or use techniques that minimize damage to surrounding tissue. The risk of complications associated with these procedures is generally low, and recovery is quick. In general, minor surgeries are performed to treat conditions that are not life-threatening but still require intervention to prevent complications or improve the patient’s quality of life.

Some minor surgery procedures performed at our clinic

Minor surgery can be used to treat many medical conditions. Here are the main ones:

Treatment of a cyst

A cyst is an abnormal pocket filled with fluid, pus, or other substances, which can form in any tissue of the body. Treatment of cysts often includes incision and drainage or surgical excision, depending on their size, location, and type, to avoid complications.

Abscess drainage

An abscess is a collection of pus that forms in the body’s tissues in response to an infection. Draining an abscess involves making an incision in the infected area to drain the accumulated pus, relieve pain, and promote healing by removing the infection.

Lipomas

A lipoma is a benign tumor of fatty tissue that forms under the skin. These growths are usually soft to the touch, movable, and painless and can be surgically removed if they become bothersome or cosmetically unpleasant.

Moles

A mole, commonly called a mole, is a small spot or growth on the skin, made up of a concentration of pigment cells called melanocytes. Minor surgery is a procedure commonly performed to remove a suspicious or bothersome mole.

Cortisone infiltration

Cortisone injection involves injecting a corticosteroid directly into an inflamed area, such as a joint or tendon. This treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility. It is commonly used to treat arthritis, tendonitis, and other inflammatory conditions.

Warts

A wart is a small, benign skin growth caused by a viral infection that appears as rough bumps on the skin, often on the hands, feet, or other parts of the body. They can vary in appearance and size. Warts that become bothersome, painful, or unsightly may be treated with salicylic acid products, cryotherapy (freezing), electrocoagulation (burning), or surgery.

Ingrown toenails

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. If the infection persists or the pain is severe, medical intervention may be necessary to partially or completely remove the nail.
