Your care journey at a glance
-
Your Appointment
Your minor surgery will take place during a 30-minute appointment with a specialist GP at Acomb Garth Community Care Centre. A healthcare support worker will be present to assist during the procedure. The GP will fully discuss the process with you and will obtain your written consent prior to any procedure being performed.
-
Histology (Laboratory Analysis)
The GP may recommend histology for lumps, bumps, moles and skin lesions — histology is an examination of the removed tissue for further assessment. Specimens are sent to York Hospital, with results electronically reported back to Nimbuscare and your GP. You will be contacted within 21 days with your results, which will also be shared with your GP. Histology is included in the procedure cost.
-
Aftercare & Follow-Up
Comprehensive aftercare guidance will be provided at your consultation. If stitches are placed, you will be asked to attend a follow up appointment (approximately 10 days).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choosing this clinic?
What treatments and procedures are available?
All our treatments will use one of the different procedures which are detailed below. At your consultation the doctor will advise you of the most appropriate procedure for your treatment:
- Cryotherapy: This is also known as freezing therapy and uses liquid nitrogen to destroy abnormal areas of skin such as warts.
- Cautery: This procedure uses heat to “cauterise” and remove skin tags. It is also used to seal blood vessels and stop bleeding in other minor procedures.
- Curettage: This procedure involves the removal of skin tissue using a curette which is an instrument like a small sharp spoon.
- Shave Excision: Some skin lesions which are raised up from the surface of the skin can be successfully treated by “shaving” off using a surgical blade. This is usually followed by cautery and does not require any stitches.
- Formal Excision: Some moles are best removed by cutting with a scalpel and then using stitches to close the wound.
Will I need an anaesthetic?
This will depend on the procedure you are having, and the doctor will be able to advise you. It is common for local anaesthetic to be used for cautery, curettage and excisions. Local anaesthetics stop the nerves in a part of your body sending signals to your brain.
You won’t be able to feel any pain after having a local anaesthetic, although you may still feel some pressure or movement. It normally only takes a few minutes to lose feeling in the area where a local anaesthetic is given, this is normally as an injection. Full sensation should return when the medicine has worn off a few hours later.
Will I be able to drive home after my procedure?
Whilst the anaesthetic will not affect your ability to drive some people may prefer not to drive after a procedure.
Will the procedure leave a scar?
Any treatment that involves cutting will leave a scar which will generally fade with time to leave a white mark. Some other treatments such as cryotherapy may also leave a permanent scar. The GP will advise you further about the risks of scarring at the time of your consultation as this will vary according to skin type and the site of the operation on the body.
Will there be bruising or bleeding afterwards?
Depending on the procedure you are having there may be some bleeding or bruising afterwards.
What happens with the stitches after the procedure?
If you have had a procedure that involves stitches (that are not dissolvable) you will be asked to attend a follow up appointment to have these removed, this is normally after 10 days.
If I have concerns following a procedure what should I do?
Bruising and bleeding are not unusual symptoms after a minor surgical skin procedure and you will be given written advice about this. Infection may sometimes occur in a wound and require treatment. Please contact the clinic if you are concerned and a member of the team will be able to advise the best course of action.
