How Auricular Tag Excision is performed
Surgery is mostly performed under local anesthesia. If cartilage is involved, it can be trimmed as needed and sent for pathology. A common approach is to mark and disinfect, inject anesthesia, perform fusiform excision or base ligation, and electrocoagulate for hemostasis. If necessary, residual tissue is treated under magnification, followed by layered suturing and pressure dressing. Postoperative monitoring includes bleeding, swelling, and infection, with the goal of removing the growth while considering appearance and scar concealment. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
