ما يمكن توقعه

قبل الإجراء

Generally, no special preparation is required.

التخدير

Local anesthesia will be used. It will make the area numb.

وصف الإجراء

The area will be cleaned. The skin surrounding the lesion will be numbed by anesthesia. Techniques for skin lesion removal vary depending on the reason for removal and lesion location. Common techniques include:

  • Removal with scalpel—The lesion is cut away with a surgical knife.
  • Laser surgery—A high-energy beam destroys skin tissue.
  • Electrosurgery—This is the use of an electrical current to selectively destroy skin tissue.
  • Cryosurgery—A cold liquid or instrument is used to freeze and remove the lesion.
  • Curettage—This is the scraping of the skin with a circular cutting loop instrument.
  • Mohs’ micrographic surgery—This is used to examine suspected cancerous lesions. Small pieces of tissue are successively removed and then viewed microscopically for signs of سرطان. The goal is to get all the cancer tissue and leave as much healthy tissue as possible.

After the lesion is removed, stitches will be used to close the hole left in the skin. Clean stickers may also be used to help keep the skin closed. A bandage will be placed over the area.

كم من الوقت سيستغرق ؟

This depends on which procedure is used. Most are completed within 5-20 minutes.

هل سيكون هناك ألم؟

Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may have some pain at the surgery site after the procedure.

رعاية ما بعد العملية

Keep the area clean and dry. Keep it covered with a sterile bandage for 1-2 days. If stickers were placed, they will fall off on their own in about a week.

Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water. Pat the wound dry after you have washed it with a mild soap. Do not submerge the wound in water until it is well-healed.

Take pain medicine if necessary.

Stitches will be left in the skin for 3-14 days, depending on where they are located.
