Dermatological surgery
Dermatological surgery includes benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) surgery of the skin.
Excision of skin lesion
Skin lesions are found on or just below the skin. Examples of skin lesions are epidermoid cysts, lipomata (benign tumour of fatty tissue), skin tags and moles.
Mole removal
Moles are a form of pigmented lesion. Benign (non cancerous) lesions can simply be left alone. However if your mole bothers you in any way, our expert team at Nuffield Health Hereford hospital may recommend removal (excision).
Skin assessment clinic
Our experienced consultants can visually assess skin lesions and (if necessary) scan them using state-of-the-art scanning equipment to analyse and detect even the smallest changes. The procedure is painless, quick and safe.
Skin cancer surgery
There are several types of surgery for skin cancer. In the first instance your consultant may want to perform an excisional biopsy to confirm the cancer and remove it.
Skin grafts for leg ulcers
During this treatment, a small piece of skin is grafted from another area of your body onto a leg ulcer.
