Safety standard
Large (from 5 cm), dense, deep and fast-growing formations carry a small but real risk of malignancy - histology after removal either calmly closes the issue or refers it to an oncologist in time, when radical treatment is most effective. Excision is performed en bloc with the capsule without fragmentation; the bed is inspected and, if necessary, drained. The conclusion is discussed during the follow-up examination along with the removal of sutures; If the result is benign, treatment is completed.
Indications
- lipomas, atheromas, fibromas of any location - growth, discomfort, aesthetics;
- skin formations requiring histology (traumatable nevi, keratomas, basal cell carcinomas in agreement with the oncologist);
- formations of the anterior abdominal wall (desmoid, postoperative granulomas);
- formation of the abdominal cavity in combination with the adhesive process.
Why remove with histology
Any removed formation must be examined under a microscope - this is the only way to exclude rare but important findings (liposarcoma in a “lipoma”, basal cell carcinoma in a “mole”) and confirm the completeness of the removal. Surgical excision within healthy tissue with a capsule is the only way to avoid recurrence of atheromas and lipomas. Minor procedures are performed on an outpatient basis in 20–30 minutes with a cosmetic suture; large and deep - with a hospital and anesthesiologist.
