MINOR SURGERY SERVICES
Safe & Professional Minor Surgical Procedures
At Cranbourne East Family Clinic, we provide a range of minor surgical procedures in a comfortable clinical setting. Our experienced GPs perform many common procedures using modern techniques and local anaesthesia, helping patients receive effective treatment without the need for hospital admission.
Whether you require removal of a skin lesion, treatment for an ingrown toenail, or management of a minor wound, our team is committed to delivering personalised care focused on your comfort, safety, and recovery.
Supporting Healthy Growth, Development & Wellbeing
Skin Lesion Removal
We assess and remove a variety of benign and suspicious skin lesions, helping improve both your health and comfort while arranging further testing when clinically appropriate.
Skin Biopsy
When a skin condition requires further investigation, we perform biopsies to obtain tissue samples for laboratory examination, assisting with accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Wound Suturing
Prompt treatment of cuts and lacerations helps reduce the risk of infection and promotes proper healing. We provide careful wound cleaning, closure, and follow-up care.
Cyst & Lipoma Removal
Where appropriate, we perform the removal of small cysts and fatty lumps (lipomas) after a thorough clinical assessment.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Painful ingrown toenails can affect everyday activities. We provide effective treatment to relieve discomfort and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to safely treat selected skin conditions such as warts, sun-damaged skin, and other superficial lesions.
Skin Lesion & Skin Cancer Management
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer, making early assessment and treatment extremely important. Our doctors examine suspicious skin changes and, where appropriate, perform minor surgical procedures for diagnosis and treatment.
We commonly assess and manage:
- Suspicious moles and changing skin lesions
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
- Sun-damaged skin lesions
- Skin cysts and benign growths
- Skin biopsies for diagnostic purposes
Comfortable, Patient-Focused Care
Your comfort and wellbeing are our priority throughout every procedure. Most minor surgeries are performed under local anaesthetic, allowing treatment to be completed safely while minimising discomfort.
Before your procedure, your doctor will explain the treatment, answer your questions, discuss expected recovery, and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and achieve the best possible outcome.
We take the time to understand your individual needs and ensure you feel informed and confident throughout the entire process. From your initial consultation to post-procedure follow-up, our team provides compassionate support, personalised advice, and ongoing care to help promote a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible treatment outcomes.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Every patient receives an individual assessment before any procedure is performed. During your appointment, your doctor may:
- Review your medical history and symptoms
- Examine the affected area
- Discuss treatment options and expected outcomes
- Explain the procedure and obtain informed consent
- Perform the procedure using sterile clinical techniques
- Provide wound care advice and arrange follow-up appointments if required
Some procedures may require pathology testing, and your doctor will discuss the results and any further treatment if necessary.
