Lesion removal: Techniques, anesthesia, and recovery
The procedure of lesion removal involves the removal of an abnormal growth or tissue from the body. This can be done through various techniques such as excision, laser therapy, or cryotherapy. The procedure begins with a thorough examination of the lesion and the surrounding area to determine the best method of removal. Local anesthesia is then administered to numb the area and minimize discomfort. The lesion is then removed using the chosen method, and the wound is typically closed with sutures or left to heal on its own. After the procedure, the patient may experience some pain or discomfort, and it is important to follow post-operative care instructions to promote healing and prevent infection. Lesion removal is a common procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and patients can usually resume normal activities within a few days.
