Passion Care Clinic offers a comfortable and safe environment for minor surgical procedures. Minor surgery refers to small, non-invasive procedures performed under local anaesthesia. These surgeries are often completed in a short time and can range from simple wound stitching (suturing) to the removal of small lumps or growths. They are typically low risk, with patients being able to return home shortly after the procedure. Our clinic offers specialized treatment for various types of wounds and skin conditions, including:
Wound dressings play an essential role in wound care and healing. The primary function of wound dressings is to provide a moist environment for wound healing, which promotes the growth of healthy cells and facilitates the process of healing.
Skin lesions encompass a variety of skin abnormalities, including moles, skin tags, warts, and other growths. While many are benign, some may cause discomfort or be a source of cosmetic concern. Our specialized removal techniques are tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Abscess surgery usually involves a small incision above the abscess to allow the pus to drain out. In some cases, the skin layer above the abscess may be removed. After that the wound is inspected thoroughly to break up all other pockets of pus.
A lot of antiseptic wash is then used to clean out most of the bacteria. Packing with gauze with antibiotics is then applied inside the wound. Finally, a dressing is applied above the wound site.
Nail surgery is a common procedure performed by most podiatrists to effectively treat an ingrown toenail – a nail that has pierced (or is pressing against) the adjacent skin of the toe causing pain and inflammation and sometimes infection.
Wound toilet is the process of cleaning and preparing a wound for closure, involving cleaning, debridement, and irrigation. Suturing is the technique of closing a wound using stitches, which includes anesthetizing the area, suturing the edges, tying knots, and dressing the wound.
A biopsy is similar to a laparoscopy in that it is designed for exploration and evaluation. Rather than inserting something into the body, however, biopsies involve removing something from the body. These procedures are generally less than 30 minutes and require a lab to effectively test for the presence of cancer, infection, and other issues.
Minor joint and soft tissue repairs address injuries to ligaments, tendons, muscles, and surrounding tissues. These injuries often result from accidents, sports, or repetitive motions. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with pain medication. For more severe injuries, physical therapy may be recommended to aid in rehabilitation and restore function. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair torn ligaments or tendons.
