Cyst / Lipoma Excision

Cyst and lipoma excision are surgical procedures performed to remove abnormal growths or lumps beneath the skin. Let's look at each of them separately:

Cyst Excision: A cyst is a closed sac or pocket that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other semi-solid material. Cysts can develop in various parts of the body and are usually benign (non-cancerous). They can arise due to infections, clogged ducts, or developmental abnormalities.
During cyst excision, a surgeon will follow these general steps:

Preparation: The patient is positioned appropriately, and the area around the cyst is cleaned and sterilized.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring the patient doesn't feel pain during the procedure.

Lipoma Excision: A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of fat cells. They are usually soft, movable, and painless, and they can develop in various parts of the body under the skin.
The procedure for lipoma excision is similar to cyst excision:

Preparation: The area is cleaned and sterilized.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the lipoma.

Incision: A small incision is made over the lipoma to gain access to it.

It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to assess the specific condition and determine the appropriate treatment plan for individual cases. This information is for general understanding and should not replace professional medical advice.
