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 was an inpatient for surgery and the overall temperature in the ward was incredibly hot due to good weather outside, all in patient rooms and areas need individual air conditioning units to control the temperature as even a bar of chocolate in my bedside melted, it was particularly hot for all the nursing staff working too. Fly screens at the bedroom windows would stop all the insects from entering the rooms attracted by any night lights. The mobile CT and MRI scanner lorries parked outside were continuously noisy throughout the night making whirring noises which echoed around the car park. All staff I met were attentive, caring and extremely helpful making my stay a really positive experience. |

I have just had a partial thyroid removal. the whole experience from initial consultation to the actual surgery involved a number of staff. from the lady who emptied the bin to the surgeon who carried out rhe procedure was exceptional. nothing was too much trouble. it would be difficult to pick out one member because they were all exceptional. I would have no hesitation of returning to Nuffield should the need arise. |
