The realm of medicine involves a spectrum of treatments — from medication prescriptions to major surgeries. In between are minor surgical procedures, which, while non-intrusive, play a vital role in addressing various health concerns. This service bridges this gap, offering precise, efficient, and effective treatments to ensure you're back on your feet in no time.
Minor surgical procedures refer to less invasive treatments, usually require only local anaesthesia, and can often be executed within the comfort of an outpatient setting. These procedures typically involve minimal incisions or none at all, ensuring quicker recovery times and reduced risks.
The need for such procedures often arises from conditions that, while not life-threatening, could cause discomfort, potential complications, or aesthetic concerns if left unaddressed.
Suturing/Stitching: A common procedure after minor injuries involving cuts or wounds, suturing involves using stitches to close the skin. The stitching material, often thread-like, aids in holding the wound closed, ensuring it heals correctly, reducing scarring, and preventing infections. The type and size of the suture used may vary depending on the wound's nature and location.
Wound Care: Post any injury, proper wound care becomes paramount. This involves cleaning the wound to prevent infections, removing debris or foreign objects, and dressing it using antiseptics and sterile bandages. Monitoring a wound as it heals, ensuring no complications arise, and changing dressings as needed all fall under comprehensive wound care.
Ear Cleaning: Our ears naturally produce wax, which protects the ear canal. However, excessive wax or its impaction can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, or infections. Ear cleaning, performed under controlled and sterile conditions, involves safely removing this excess wax. Methods may range from manual extraction using specialised tools to irrigation techniques.
Cyst Removal: Cysts are benign growths that can develop under the skin. While often harmless, they can become bothersome or get infected. A minor surgical procedure can make a small incision and remove the cyst.
Skin Biopsies: A skin biopsy might be recommended when a skin patch appears unusual. This involves removing a small section of the skin to be tested for diseases like cancer.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment: Ingrown toenails can cause pain and might get infected. Minor surgery can address this by partially or completely removing the nail.
