How Local Excision of Oral Mucosal Lesion (Cold Knife/Electrosurgery) is performed
Under local or general anesthesia, a wedge-shaped or elliptical excision is performed according to the assessed range. The choice of boundary is determined by the lesion characteristics and functional needs. Bleeding is controlled by electrocoagulation, suturing, or hemostatic materials. The excised specimen is marked according to the direction and sent for pathology, and intraoperative frozen section evaluation can be performed if necessary. Postoperative wound protection and pain management are performed, and early monitoring of bleeding, infection, and functional limitations is performed. The goal is to completely remove the suspicious mucosa and preserve oral function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
