Minor Surgeries

Incision & Drainage

Sometimes, minor skin conditions can lead to infections that does not resolve with antibiotics, at times due to abscesses or pockets of pus. These can be released with a minor procedure where the surgeon will cut in to the pocket, release the pus and clean it before allowing it to close. This procedure can be done painlessly with local anesthesia in Clinica.

Foreign Body Removal

Small foreign matter can injure your skin during your daily life, however, removal of these foreign bodies may require medical intervention to ensure the prevention of infection, as well as the safe removal of the matter without further damage to surrounding tissue. Foreign body removal can entail imaging to identify the depth, blood tests to rule out infection, and incisions to ensure a safe removal, as well as dressing, tetanus vaccination, and oral antibiotics depending on the case.

Dressings & Debridement

Debridement is the medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue in a bid to enhance the healing potential of the healthy tissue that remains. Removal can be surgical, mechanical, or chemical. Debridement is an important part of the burn and other serious wound healing process.

Surgical Dressing Care

A dressing is a sterile pad or compress that is applied to a wound to encourage healing and protect it from further harm. A dressing is intended to come into contact with the wound. Normal saline or soapy water is used to clean the site.

Nail Procedures

This requires making a small cut in the skin at the base of the nail. After that, the area is stitched and a bulky dressing is applied. In Clinica, this procedure can be performed painlessly using local anesthesia.

Suturing & Suture Care

The doctor will use sutures to close wounds to your skin or other tissues. When the doctor sutures a wound, he or she will use a needle connected to a length of “thread” to close the wound.

· It is critical to keep your wound dry for the first 24 hours.

· After the first 24 hours, you can wet the wound for a short period of time, such as in the shower.

· Do not soak or swim until the sutures have been removed.

· Only take medications that have been prescribed by a doctor.

Splinting

Splints are used to immobilize musculoskeletal injuries, enable in healing, and protect against further damage. Splinting has a wide range of indications, but the most common are : temporary stabilization of acute fractures, sprains, or strains before further evaluation or definitive operative management.
