Minor Procedures
Minor Procedures Services
Columbia Surgical Specialists - General Surgery provides a wide range of minor surgical procedures that can often be performed in an outpatient setting. Our surgeons perform procedures including removal of sebaceous cysts and lipomas, temporal artery biopsy, and muscle biopsy. These procedures are typically quick, well-tolerated, and allow for rapid recovery.
Our evaluation includes a thorough examination of the area of concern and review of your medical history. For diagnostic procedures such as biopsies, we work closely with pathologists to ensure accurate diagnosis. We discuss the procedure, expected outcomes, and recovery process with each patient to ensure they are well-informed and comfortable with the planned intervention.
Most minor procedures are performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day. Our surgeons use meticulous techniques to minimize scarring and ensure optimal cosmetic outcomes. We provide comprehensive post-procedure care instructions and follow-up to ensure proper healing and address any concerns that may arise.
