How Excision of Benign Skin Lesion is performed
This procedure is mostly performed under local anesthesia, with intravenous sedation or general anesthesia as options when necessary. A common approach is to mark the incision according to skin lines, excise the mass while ensuring a safe margin, stop bleeding with electrocautery, and suture in layers, with tension reduction or flap/skin graft repair if needed. The excised specimen can be sent for pathological evaluation. Postoperatively, a dressing is applied, and signs of bleeding and infection are monitored. The goal is to remove the lesion while considering scarring and function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
