Procedure Information |
What happens during excision of skin lesions Skin lesions are usually removed under local anaesthetic. After careful examination, the area around the mole will be cleaned with anti-bacterial solution to limit infection. There may be a surgical drape placed around the area to ensure a sterile working area. To remove the mole, your surgeon will cut all the way around it using an oval cut. The mole(s) will be placed in specimen jar(s) and sent to a lab for analysis. Your surgeon will close the wound with stitches (if needed) and cover it with a dressing. After mole removal You should be able to go home very soon after your procedure. If you experience any pain following your mole removal, over the counter pain relief such as Paracetamol can be used. Results of the analysis will be given to you by your consultant or GP. Sometimes your surgeon will ask you to return a few days following your mole removal to inspect the wound and change the dressing. If the wound area becomes red, swollen or bleeds be sure and contact your surgeon or Outpatient Department for advice. You should be able to return to work the day following your procedure unless your work puts a strain on the area stitched. Be sure and discuss your return to work with your surgeon. Depending on what area is stitched you will need to visit the Outpatient Department or practice nurse to have your stitches removed. It is unusual for this procedure to restrict any daily activities however any surgical procedure can result in complications: Pain Bleeding Infection of the surgical site (wound) Scarring Wound breakdown (skin fails to heal) Specific complications in mole removal The mole may come back A larger operation may be needed Why not print this treatment page so you can discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon? |

I just cannot begin to state how amazing this place is, the whole journey for my hip replacement has been beyond anything I could have imagined in terms of purely exceptional service. Everybody has been friendly, uber efficient and most of all made you feel totally at ease. I have never had any surgery or indeed stayed overnight in a hospital so I have had a lot of nerves and anxiety but I couldnt have been treated any better. I have never felt in such good hands and could not recommend highly enough! |
