What is Surgical Excision?
The procedure, conducted under local anesthesia, entails a precise incision around the lesion to ensure complete removal with a margin of healthy tissue. Following excision, the incision is closed with stitches, and the extracted tissue is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
What are the Benefits of Surgical Excision
Offering immediate results and low recurrence rates, surgical excision addresses concerns promptly. Surgeons prioritize aesthetic outcomes by minimizing scarring, making it a reliable approach for the removal of growths with both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
