Procedures

Abscesses are localized collections of pus caused by bacterial infections. Minor incision and drainage procedures involve making a small cut in the skin to drain the pus, relieving pain and promoting healing. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a sterile environment to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of complications. It is commonly used to treat skin abscesses, helping to expedite recovery and prevent further infection.

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection characterized by redness, swelling, and warmth in the affected area. Treatment typically involves oral antibiotics to eradicate the underlying infection and alleviate symptoms. In severe cases or those involving large areas of skin, hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent complications such as tissue damage, bloodstream infections, or abscess formation.

Toenail removal, or toenail avulsion, is a procedure performed to treat conditions such as ingrown toenails, fungal infections, or traumatic injuries to the nail. It involves the partial or complete removal of the toenail under local anesthesia to relieve pain and allow for proper healing. This procedure may be recommended for individuals experiencing chronic toenail problems or recurrent infections that do not respond to conservative treatments.

Calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated pressure or friction, commonly occurring on the feet. Callus debridement involves gently removing the thickened skin to alleviate discomfort and reduce the risk of complications such as ulcers or infections. This procedure is often performed as part of routine foot care for individuals with conditions such as diabetes or peripheral vascular disease to maintain healthy feet and prevent foot-related complications.

An endometrial biopsy is a procedure used to obtain a sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) for examination under a microscope. It is performed to diagnose conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, or endometrial cancer. This procedure may be recommended based on symptoms such as irregular menstrual bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, or infertility, allowing for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of uterine disorders.
