MORE ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
Description
Skin and tumor excision is a surgical procedure that removes benign and malignant growths from the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This includes moles, lipomas, cysts, papillomas, fibromas, basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, as well as other dermatological lesions. The procedure is performed for aesthetic improvement, diagnosis, or prevention of potential complications.
Types of skin growths that can be removed
Moles (nevi) – common pigmented lesions that can be removed for aesthetic or medical reasons.
Skin fibromas – soft, benign growths, usually without any health risk.
Lipomas – benign fatty deposits located under the skin.
Skin cysts – small subcutaneous sacs filled with sebum or other secretions.
Papillomas – small benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Atypical moles – pigmented lesions with uneven color and shape that have a risk of malignancy.
Basal cell carcinoma – the most common type of skin cancer, which grows slowly but requires timely treatment.
Squamous cell carcinoma – a malignant tumor that can spread if not removed in time.
Melanoma – the most aggressive form of skin cancer, where early diagnosis and surgical removal are essential.
Preparing for the procedure
Consultation to assess the condition of the lesion. If necessary – dermatoscopic or histological examination to determine the type of lesion. Avoidance of blood-thinning medications (aspirin, anticoagulants) at least 48 hours before the procedure.
Postoperative care and recovery
Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid excessive stretching or pressure on the treated area. Change dressings and apply topical antiseptics as needed. Remove stitches (if any) after 5-14 days, depending on location. Temporarily avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen (SPF 50) to prevent pigmentation.
How does the procedure work?
1. Anesthesia – Local anesthesia is applied, making the procedure completely painless.
2. Removal of the lesion – Depending on the type and size of the lesion, different methods are used:
- Surgical excision – Excision with a surgical scalpel, followed by stitches.
- Electrocautery – Burning of small benign growths using electricity.
- Laser removal – Suitable for some benign formations.
- Cryotherapy – Freezing small skin growths with liquid nitrogen.
3. Final stage – If the formation is surgically removed, the wound is sutured and covered with a sterile bandage.
In some cases, the tissue sample is sent for histological examination.
