Lesion removal indications
Presence of any suspicious or potentially cancerous growths, lesions that cause pain or discomfort, cosmetic concerns, and lesions that interfere with daily activities. Additionally, removal may be indicated for lesions that have changed in size, shape, or color, or those that bleed or become infected.
Aftercare involves wound management and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and optimise skin health. This minimally invasive procedure is performed to improve skin health and aesthetics.
Preparation: Before the procedure, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, involving detailed examination of the lesion/growth, its borders, and its extension. A complete medical history, discussion of treatment options and requirement of any further diagnostic investigations
During the Procedure: The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. Unwanted tissue is carefully removed by the surgeon using a chosen technique, ensuring complete removal while minimising scarring.
Duration: The duration of the procedure varies based on the size and location of the lesion, the lesion or growth closer to vital structures like blood vessels and nerves requires precision excision and the whole procedure may typically take few minutes to an hour to complete.
Recovery: A complete adherence to wound care instructions, which is very important for a complete postoperative recovery, minimises the pain and discomfort, allowing most individuals to return to normal activities within a few days.
Post-Procedure Care: Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and address any concerns. Patients are advised on scar management measures with proper sun protection and skincare regimes.

The total duration of the procedure varies based on the size and location of the lesion, and type of technique selected to remove the lesion( open or minimally invasive). Excision procedures can last anything from a few minutes for smaller lesions to more than an hour for larger lesions.
Depending on the extent and depth of the excision, the edges of the excised lesion may be stitched up or left open to heal. Discomfort or pain after the procedure is generally managed with analgesics. Keeping the area clean and following the recovery instructions is the key to optimal healing.
In some cases, lesions might reappear after removal, especially if the underlying cause of the lesion is not addressed or if the individual is predisposed to having similar lesions.
Lesions can be removed using a variety of techniques, including surgical excision, laser therapy, cryotherapy, electrocautery, and topical medicines. The technique of removal is determined by the type, size, location, and depth of the lesion, as well as the patient’s overall health and preferences.
Not necessarily. A lesion is a general term for any abnormality or injury to tissue, which can include a variety of disorders such as wounds, sores, cysts, moles, and tumors. While certain lesions may be cancers (either malignant or benign lesion removal), many are non-cancerous and do not offer a severe health risk. Any new lesions which is growing in size should be assessed to determine their underlying cause and proper management.
