In general terms, surgery is the term traditionally used for treatments that involve cutting or stitching tissue. However, advances in surgical techniques have made the definition more complicated: Sometimes lasers, ultracisions, rather than scalpels, are used to cut tissue.
Surgery is a broad area of care and involves many different techniques.
Here are a few definitions:
Minor surgery – any surgical procedure that does not involve anesthesia or respiratory assistance during the surgical procedure, – a medical procedure involving an incision with instruments; performed to repair damage or arrest disease in a living body( Ex. Hemorhoids, Tissue neurosis in absces
There are many conditions that can be treated quickly and easily by:
– vaporisation with electrical diathermy (Example: Warts destrucition)
– simple excision (Example: Mole biopsy)
This just requires a little local anaesthetic and a few minutes of your time.
Major surgery – any surgical procedure that involves anesthesia or respiratory assistance. Minor surgery can involve the use of local, regional anesthesia. (We do not perform this here )
