Cutaneous Surgery

Cutaneous surgery refers to surgical procedures that focus on the skin and its related structures. It is a specialty within surgical dermatology that involves diagnosing and treating various skin conditions, such as tumors, moles, and complex skin cancers. These surgeries can involve removing abnormal growths, repairing skin damage, or performing cosmetic procedures. The goal is to improve skin health and appearance while minimizing scarring and promoting healing. Procedures are typically done in a clinic or outpatient setting, using local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Overall, cutaneous surgery plays a vital role in both medical and cosmetic dermatology.
