What Surgical Procedures Do We Perform at Fast Medica?
At Fast Medica, we perform surgical procedures that involve the removal of abnormalities within the skin, epidermis, and its derivatives, known as skin appendages.
Our surgeon’s offerings include:
- Incision of abscesses and hematomas
- Excision of ingrown toenails
- Removal of skin lesions, such as pigmented nevi
- Excision of lipomas or cysts
Incision of Abscesses and Hematomas
Incision and drainage of even deeply located skin lesions are among the most frequently performed minor procedures at Fast Medica. Typically, this involves the incision and drainage of an abscess or hematoma, but procedures also address boils, furuncles, carbuncles, and other changes requiring such intervention.
Excision of Ingrown Toenails
Surgical procedures involving the toenail include, among others, the aforementioned cleansing of a carbuncle, but more often, patients come to us with the problem of an ingrown toenail. Sometimes, removing the ingrown part of the toenail is sufficient; other times, it is necessary to surgically remove almost the entire nail plate along with a portion of the nail bed. This is done under local anesthesia using a scalpel, and occasionally the procedure concludes with the placement of a few stitches.
Removal of Skin Lesions – Pigmented Nevi and Warts
While abscesses, hematomas, and ingrown toenails can cause significant discomfort, skin changes such as pigmented nevi or warts generally do not hurt, itch, or cause other symptoms. However, they negatively impact the aesthetics of the skin and increase the risk of melanoma. Some lesions can be removed using lasers or cryotherapy, while others need to be surgically excised.
Excision of Lipomas and Cysts
The removal of lipomas, cysts, and larger fibromas located beneath the skin is another procedure performed at our clinic. Such growths can grow for many years, gradually protruding the skin and worsening its appearance. If located in areas prone to frequent irritation, they can become inflamed. The most effective method for removing lipomas and cysts is surgical excision. Unlike more extensive surgical operations, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it completely painless, and the patient can return home the same day.
Why Choose Our Clinic?
At Fast Medica, trusted and experienced specialists work diligently to quickly and accurately diagnose skin changes and then select appropriate treatment methods. Fast Medica offers the opportunity to consult about any skin lesion, even if it is not particularly visible and does not cause pain. In some cases, pharmacological treatment may be effective, while in others, more invasive surgical operations are necessary. However, in most cases, we perform minor surgical procedures on-site.
Qualification for Surgical Treatment
Performing a surgical procedure by an experienced specialist always follows a detailed interview and appropriate examinations. A patient may be qualified for the procedure by doctors of various specialties, but most often it is a surgeon or dermatologist. The qualifying doctor explains the treatment goal, the method by which the surgery will be performed, and the type of anesthesia to be used.
Procedures Under Local Anesthesia
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia, making them painless and comfortable. Each patient can expect an individualized approach from the specialist and a friendly atmosphere. We understand that even minor surgical procedures can be a source of anxiety for patients due to pain and potential discomfort, which is why we make every effort to minimize stress associated with the procedure.
We Invite You for Consultations
Undergoing a surgical procedure is preceded by detailed consultations. We invite everyone who wants to eliminate unsightly, often painful skin changes or to undergo such a procedure for preventive purposes to visit our specialist’s office. During the visit, the doctor will discuss with the patient the indications and contraindications for removing the skin lesion, provide information about the methods used for lesion removal, and give recommendations to follow after the procedure. Each patient receives the necessary assistance and support from us.
