Minor Surgery

Minor surgery in general practice refers to small, non-invasive surgical procedures that can be performed in a doctor's office or clinic. These procedures often include removing skin lesions, draining abscesses, or stitching small cuts. They typically don’t require general anesthesia and involve minimal risks. Recovery is usually quick, and patients can often return home the same day. General practitioners with training in minor surgery can provide these services, allowing patients to receive care in a familiar and convenient setting. The goal is to effectively address minor health issues while minimizing disruption to the patient’s daily life.
