Some GPs are trained in performing minor surgery and can offer this as a convenient service to patients.\u00a0<\/p><p>Timely access to minor surgery allows us to take swift and targeted action to achieve great outcomes with minimal disruption to your day-to-day life.\u00a0<\/p><h2>Common Minor Procedures<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Botany Junction Medical, we are fortunate enough to have specialist GPs that offer a range of services, including:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mole\/Skin tag removal<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin cancer can appear on your skin in many ways,<a href=\"https:\/\/richfieldmedicalgroup.com\/2021\/07\/28\/5-signs-you-should-have-your-mole-removed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u> and melanoma can develop as a new spot or from an existing mole.<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0If you notice a new growth or changing mole, it\u2019s best to get this checked.

This can cause pain or infection. Often in the big toe, the most common cause is due to cutting your toenails incorrectly or from pressure from tight shoes. A simple surgical procedure can remove the pain and infection of the ingrown toenail.<\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term contraception<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term contraception methods, such as Mirena or IUD insertions, are effective and practical forms of birth control. This is often a preferred method of birth control for women who don\u2019t want to take the birth control pill or get very heavy periods. <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>Wart treatment<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although often harmless, warts can be painful and bothersome in certain areas of the body, such as feet and genitals.

But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanyjunctionmedical.co.nz\/es\/new-patients-enrolment\/\"><strong>benefits<\/strong><\/a> don\u2019t stop there, you\u2019ll find minor surgery;<\/p><ul><li>Much less invasive than other surgeries due to the nature of the surgery being in such a small and targeted area.<\/li><li>To have small insertions with less scarring.<\/li><li>Quicker recovery time from your surgery.<\/li><li>You can expect a low risk of complications due to such small insertions into the skin.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Preparation and Recovery<\/h2><p>Despite the simple and quick manner of the surgery itself, there are a couple of things that need to happen before and after the surgery to ensure that everything goes well.<\/p><p>Firstly, when you see your GP for the initial consultation, don\u2019t expect that your surgery will be completed straight away. Instead, you will have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanyjunctionmedical.co.nz\/es\/services\/after-hours-doctorconsult\/\"><strong>15-minute consultation<\/strong><\/a> so the GP can get familiar with your condition and recommend the most appropriate next steps. In some instances, surgery may be unnecessary. If that\u2019s the case, you may be provided with medication that will support your health needs instead. Our GPs will also advise you if your condition would be more suitable for treatment by another specialist.\u00a0<\/p><p>As with any surgery, there are risks involved. If you are aware of any conditions, allergy to an aesthetic or needle phobia, please let your GP know straight away.<\/p><p>We will provide you with post-operation instructions and advice. Good wound care reduces the risk of post-operation infections. We\u2019ll let you know when you should attend for a routine wound review, however if you have any concerns regarding bleeding or possible wound infections, please contact us to discuss.<\/p><p>In summary, minor surgery is a quick and effective solution for various medical conditions that might otherwise trouble you in your day-to-day life.
