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.

I brought a friend who has a massive fear of needles. He needed blood tests. The nurses concerned were amazing. They were so lovely and patient with him. He really wasn’t going to go through with it he was that scared but their kindness and patience were above and beyond. He was highly delighted that he was able to overcome his fear and it is all down to these two wonderful human beings. |

Quality of care, friendliness and helpfulness of staff was absolutely second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff at all levels were incredibly professional and helpful. Slight hiccup in the discharge procedure but this was down to poor communication of just one person, it was no way a reflection on anyone else. Even though i was fortunate enough to be treated at Nuffield Leicester on the NHS, I can honestly say the level of care I received was no less than someone who is paying privately. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone and anyone who is pending NHS treatment here should not be worried at all, you will be well looked after indeed. A wonderful, friendly team of people who do a terrific job. Original Comment Report... |
