Minor surgery encompasses a range of procedures that are typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day. These procedures are less invasive than major surgeries and generally have quicker recovery times. At The Village Medical Practice, we offer a variety of minor surgical services to address different health concerns, from toenail issues to skin procedures, contraceptive device insertions, and skin cancer treatments.
Toenail surgeries are commonly performed to treat ingrown toenails, which can cause significant pain and infection if not addressed. This procedure involves removing part or all of the affected toenail to alleviate discomfort and prevent recurrence. Our skilled practitioners ensure the procedure is done with minimal discomfort and provide aftercare instructions to promote proper healing.
Skin procedures, such as the removal of moles, cysts, and skin tags, are also part of our minor surgery offerings. These procedures are often performed under local anaesthesia or with Cryotherapy and can help prevent potential complications or improve cosmetic appearance. For those seeking long-term contraception, we offer the insertion and removal of contraceptive devices like contraceptive implants. These procedures are quick and straightforward, providing reliable birth control options with minimal downtime.
Skin cancer is a significant concern in Australia, and early detection and treatment are crucial. We perform minor surgical excisions of suspicious skin lesions, ensuring thorough removal and biopsy to determine if further treatment is necessary. Our team is committed to providing comprehensive care, from initial consultation to follow-up, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
If you have any concerns about your health or require a minor surgical procedure, we encourage you to discuss them with your GP, who can provide expert advice and appropriate treatment options.
