At our clinic, we place great emphasis on providing a wide range of outpatient minor surgeries, allowing patients to receive quick and effective care with minimal hospital stay. These outpatient procedures include the removal of skin lesions, such as moles, lipomas, and atheromas, as well as the treatment of other subcutaneous formations. These procedures are often performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.
Our team consists of experienced surgeons who are committed to providing the highest level of medical care. For each of our patients, we prepare a personalized treatment plan that takes into account their health status, needs, and expectations. This approach ensures that surgical interventions are carried out with maximum safety and the best possible outcomes.
When Should You See a Surgeon?
Surgical issues cover a wide range, from simple skin conditions to life-threatening acute cases. If you experience symptoms that may require surgical intervention, it is recommended to seek specialist help as soon as possible. The Surgical Department at Újbuda Medical Center is ready to provide quick and effective care in the following cases:
Skin Lesions and Soft Tissue Conditions
- Skin lesions, such as moles and warts removal: If you notice new skin lesions or changes in the size, color, or shape of existing ones, it’s important to have a dermatologist and surgeon assess them.
- Ingrown toenails: A common, painful condition that can be treated with professional surgical intervention.
- Removal of lipomas or atheromas: Soft tissue growths that may be bothersome and sometimes painful.
- Specialist consultation: When symptoms make the diagnosis unclear, or multiple specialties need to collaborate to establish the correct treatment plan.
Timely treatment of surgical issues is critical to avoid complications and promote fast recovery.
The Surgical Examination Process at Újbuda Medical Center
A surgical examination is a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of the patient's condition, which is essential for developing an effective treatment plan. At Újbuda Medical Center, surgical examinations follow strict protocols to ensure that every patient receives the most accurate diagnosis.
Medical History
The first step of the examination is gathering the patient's medical history. Our surgeon will thoroughly review the patient's past medical issues and current complaints. This includes details of previous and current health conditions, prior surgeries or treatments, as well as any drug allergies or other relevant medical information. This step helps the surgeon understand the patient's unique health situation, which is essential for planning further tests and treatments.
Physical Examination
During the physical examination, the surgeon evaluates the patient's general condition and performs specific assessments aimed at identifying underlying surgical conditions. This may include palpation, auscultation, and other manual techniques, enabling the surgeon to diagnose various surgical issues, such as hernias, inflammations, or other soft tissue abnormalities.
Imaging and Laboratory Tests
Imaging and lab tests are essential components of making an accurate diagnosis. At Újbuda Medical Center, we offer advanced diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, X-ray, CT, and MRI, providing detailed images of the internal organs and tissues. Lab tests complement these findings, helping doctors gain a full picture of the patient’s health.
Surgical Specialist Examination
In addition to general evaluations, the surgical specialist may order further specific tests based on the patient’s complaints and findings from the physical examination. These tests help confirm or rule out certain surgical conditions and assist in planning surgical interventions.
Outpatient Minor Surgeries
If needed, we perform outpatient minor surgeries at Újbuda Medical Center as part of the diagnostic process. These procedures focus on removing soft tissue formations located on or under the skin, such as skin lesions or lipomas. These surgeries are performed under local anesthesia, enabling patients to recover quickly with minimal hospital stay.
Surgical Interventions
The Surgical Department at Újbuda Medical Center offers a wide range of procedures aimed at treating skin and subcutaneous abnormalities, as well as providing fast and safe care for chronic and acute conditions. Our highly qualified surgeons use the latest techniques and methods to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Treatment of Skin and Subcutaneous Lesions
- Mole and skin lesion removal: We remove moles and other skin lesions quickly and safely, including those on sensitive areas such as the scalp and neck. Early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer lesions are particularly important.
- Lipoma and atheroma removal: These benign but often bothersome subcutaneous tumors are easily removed through a minor outpatient procedure, performed under local anesthesia.
Specialized Procedures
- Ingrown toenail treatment: A common issue that can cause significant pain. We use specialized surgical techniques to address ingrown toenails, preventing recurrent infections.
- Chronic wound treatment: We pay special attention to chronic, slow-healing wounds, such as leg ulcers. With modern wound care techniques, we help promote the healing process.
- Excision of large skin lesions: We remove skin lesions larger than 5 cm, including on sensitive areas like the scalp or neck.
Abscess Treatment
- Abscess drainage: We treat acute abscesses, including facial abscesses, pilonidal cysts, hidradenitis suppurativa, and perianal abscesses. Abscess drainage aims to reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
All our procedures are performed according to the highest professional and hygiene standards, ensuring safe and successful treatment outcomes. After thorough consultation, our surgeons develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient, considering individual needs and medical history.
What Preparations Are Necessary Before Surgery?
Preoperative preparations include a complete medical evaluation, including a physical examination, necessary lab tests, and imaging studies. It is important to inform your doctor of all current health conditions and medications you are taking. In some cases, you may need to follow a special diet or temporarily stop certain medications before surgery.
Are Surgical Procedures Painful?
Modern surgery aims to minimize pain during and after procedures. Local anesthesia is often sufficient for outpatient surgeries, but additional pain management can be provided if necessary. We offer detailed instructions and appropriate pain medications for managing post-operative discomfort.
Post-Surgery Follow-Up
Follow-up visits after surgery are essential to monitor the healing process. The first follow-up usually occurs a few days after surgery, during which the surgeon checks the wound and the progress of healing. Additional follow-ups may be scheduled based on the surgeon’s recommendations.
