What Are Surgical Excisions?
Surgical Excisions are minor dermatologic surgical procedures used to remove abnormal or concerning skin growths. During this procedure, the lesion and a small margin of surrounding tissue are carefully removed to ensure complete treatment. Excisions are commonly performed for skin cancers, atypical moles, cysts, and other growths that require definitive removal.
How Surgical Excisions Work
Surgical Excisions begin with local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. The provider then carefully removes the targeted lesion along with a small margin of healthy tissue when necessary. The area is typically closed with sutures to promote proper healing and minimize scarring. In many cases, the removed tissue is sent to pathology for confirmation of complete removal and accurate diagnosis.
